This is new to me. The service uses codes generated by an authenticator app and is clearly concerned about the support consequences of users losing access to unbacked up authenticator apps.

I guess that's okay as an option, but what annoys me is the #infantilization of users implicit in requiring this. The assumption that no users can be trusted to properly back up their own authenticator apps thereby forcing us to hand over even more #data.
