Amidst all the potential ways in which even 2FA can be compromised, I am surprised no one is mentioning the biggest benefit of using 2FA- the ephemeral nature of 2nd password. Not only it protects against misuse of stolen credentials, but it also allows to centrally disable the 2nd password should any leak occur. Is this one of the stated goals of 2FA design?
In my view, this makes 2FA an essential security feature, not just a nice improvement over 1FA.
