Even worse:

Page 1: enter email or phone number

Page 2: enter password

Page 3: enter 2FA

okay, but why the fuck am I entering a password if you're forcing me to use 2FA?

Corposluts: "iTs MoRe SeCuRe"

BITCH - If I can fucking reset my password with the same email/phone number I use to receive my 2FA, then the password is functionally useless

    Well it wouldn't be 2fa if you don't use a password. Then it's just 1fa.

    (in case you didn't know, 2fa stands for two-factor authentication, as in secondary authentication (usually besides a password))

    As pointed out, if password can be reset from the same email you receive 2fa codes then it's 1fa with extra steps.

    Yes, but 2FA is usually another app, not email. Or even if it’s the same app being in your very password manager, it gets the second password from the algorithm. So if you steal my password, you can login. But stealing these 6 numbers that work for just 30 seconds is useless.

    Damn do I hate websites that do this. It's always a gamble if Keepass can handle their stupid multi-page form correctly.

    Even worse: instead of your email or phone number. It's not even username. It's your fucking account number. I'm looking at you airline and hotel rewards programs. You think I know my fucking account number? Now I need to go into my email and lookup my fucking Airline Advantage number? And Gmail search is complete shit and all of the results I get are from the airline in my spam folder so I have to dig through all of that. Then when I finally do find it, fuck me if I can remember my password because I travel like once every couple of years and I'm hoping that if I keep saving up all of my points then maybe I can get a free flight to a neighboring city in 20 years....
