This defeats the purpose of using 2FA: to require a second factor every time you login. This completely negates the benefits of 2FA if a hacker has gotten my username/password through a keylogger. It's easy enough to get a good score if you just disable tracking protections and login to a Google account, then a hacker can easily break into your account. I was thinking it had to be the author not understanding how 2FA worked, but Google is actually advocating this ([0]):

You would think the people behind recaptcha would understand how 2FA is supposed to work.

- judge2020 7y agoI think "real" 2fa isn't going to care about what ReCaptcha v3's trust score is, the case for this is "this user has a recaptcha score of 0.2, they don't have any cookies for this site, and [other system] also thinks they are suspicious. Let's require extra email verification and/or ask to answer a security question".
