The other day I used a website and they didn't let me pick a password.

They sent me a very secure random one via email 💀 in the year 2025, this still happens.

There's really nothing wrong with that, it's a sort of half-baked 1.5FA, I would hope/assume you had to immediately change your password after.

It's just 1 factor, as they are using "something you have," i.e. your email account, to authenticate you initially. Anyone with access to the account would have the password, so it can't count as a unique factor.

The 1.5 is them relying on your email provider to provide the 2factor 😂
