Same thing happened to me and my wife. The permanence of 2fa failing was something that didn’t exist until just a few years ago. For decades before that you could always get back in as long as you had an email. With that safety net in mind, it’s easy to go on “auto pilot” with using the internet and devices, not worrying at all about anything. And when 2fa came it kind of changed that with very little warning - or at least the warning wasn’t clearly distinct enough from previous-generation auth techniques so we (understandably so) didn’t pay enough heed. Fortunately it was only regarding an iTunes account so all we lost was access to a dozen VeggieTales movies, but it got me wanting to disable 2fa on my own account, but Apple doesn’t allow that anymore. Sigh.
