2FA via E-Mail is not 2FA.

Sure, I don't disagree, but that seems an entirely different discussion. If it bothers your OCD, replace 2FA tokens with "confirm your email address" or some other thing. If you don't think there are ever any good reasons for sending a customer email, then we'd have to step back and argue that first before we could get to my question in the GP post

Why do they need to know if the email address is valid if they’re never going to accept email from me in the first place?

> Back when the internet was a nice place, I mean years 1999-2010 By 1999, Internet Explorer on Windows had over 95% of the web browser market. Modems were 56K. This is not comparable to the web in 2010, much less the web today.

> You're experiencing nostalgia - it isn't factual, though. Is this a universal argument against "something was better"? Yes, many things were better in the past, internet included. Now we do things faster, cheaper and worse. > I wonder what these password managers are all about, then? Have you ever seen a private website requiring you to register? I haven't. If it does, then it's another sign of how we break simple…

You're experiencing nostalgia

I get it, you should just know what is happening with your recollection of the past
