EE seem to be threatening to make me use 2FA to log on to this Community.

This will not sit well with me 😢

Technically I would get an alert because I have my own security policies in place and it would never get to that, however you still haven't answered my question regarding why 2FA on EE isn't prompted for each login

@DanBD1 

I agree. Anybody who was able to sit outside my house, crack my routinely encrypted WiFi traffic, spoof my MAC addresses, learn my device and application logins and passwords, and so on, could come on here and spout nonsense as if they were me, and generally make me look a complete prat 😢

DanBD1, I would say the main purpose of 2FA is about device authentication, not individual authentication, ultimately if you are using a shared device, thats your responsibility to logout of everything, and disable any remember password features.

For a forum that expires login sessions so quickly, then adding 2FA for every authentication would be very excessive.

That is why 2FA historically is about detecting a change of device, IP, client identification, that sort of thing.
