Every time I read comments on posts like these, it reaffirms to me how the average person does not give a shit about real security or is completely ignorant to how and why these extra safeguards are used. Lemmy, I would assume, has a higher than average tech knowledge amongst it's user base vs many other platforms, but the sentiment often that of, MFA and needing to login to a bunch of separate applications is too much work and the people that designed them don't know what they're doing. It's a bit disheartening.
GoDaddy sends a confirmation email for updating DNS. It does not ever arrive faster than 10 minutes from the time they claim they will send it, and sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes. The code expires in 20 minutes, so if you switch focus to something else in the mean time and miss the email and the code times out, you have to send another one and just sit there staring at the email inbox. I have lost hours of my life to GoDaddy MFA. Not all MFA is stupid, but their implementation is amazingly stupid.
Another bigass reason why godaddy sucks lol
