    I tried to continue using 2FA, after going through the trouble to set it up. Something went haywire in my setup and I couldn't log in, after it was determined that 2FA was no longer a requirement. I turned it off and never looked back.

    Have we had any further member name hijackings by thieves?

    We implemented MFA at work some years ago. Being on the security/policy side of things we observed that it just about eliminated account compromises overnight (except for occasional careless pavlovian user response). Works great. That said, the INGO implementation was pretty cumbersome. So mine is off. If it worked well, I'd turn it on again.
