I’m not talking about appropriate security posture for a given individual though. I’m speaking specifically to their claim that it has provided “no benefit”, and that is a claim they cannot even prove. Whether the benefit is negligible, because the account(s) are unimportant to them, or massive, because they are dealing with financial institutions, is completely irrelevant to the veracity of the statement.
I find this line of argument especially ridiculous considering that they are apparently using MFA enough for it to be worth commenting about the nuisance. So either they are using it a lot, in many places, and definitely can’t back up a “no benefit” claim, or they’re using it very little and/or only for unimportant accounts, at which point their claim is saber rattling at best, and misleading to others at worst.
