2FA is annoying and not necessary for most things.
Yeah I just want to type my name to be able to withdraw money from my bank account. No pesky pins or passwords or any form of authentication /s
Even in my bank's ATM there's only one password, not 2FA. 2FA is 2 factor auth, there's no 2FA in the ATMs.
It doesn't mean the initial password isn't a layer of authentication, but strictly speaking where I live all ATMs do not employ 2FA.
The two factors at an ATM are possession of your bank card + knowledge of your pin. (it also takes your photo, for good measure)
GitHub will happily accept a smart card or whatever, if an extra plastic rectangle jives with you more than an OTP generator.
Card is your username duh. Some people are beyond saving.
The card number is your username, a physical card is a separate factor.
"Something you have" is absolutely not equivalent to "something you know"
You are completely unable to enter this conversation, but you think you're the smartest one in the room.
I bet you're insufferable.
