Oh c'mon, even tech savvy people are just using email for email. For me, I have to consider 2FA, or in the case of my son, who doesn't want a phone, a Yubikey

Oh c'mon, even tech savvy people are just using email for email.
For me, I have to consider 2FA, or in the case of my son, who doesn't want a phone, a Yubikey or similar. I don't want to live with the additional management and potential disaster of 2FA blocking his access to his email account, which is currently his gateway to university.
At work I have 2FA, but there's a whole IT/IS team to manage and unblock things (which happens, co-workers get blocked out of their email accounts regularly).
Personally, I'm hoping to convince my domain cohorts (family) to move to Protonmail or similar.

I don't want to live with the additional management and potential disaster of 2FA blocking his access to his email account, which is currently his gateway to university. This is a good point: For many people, passwords are already too much of a hassle. 2FA is going to be just more hassle. I manage all the passwords for everyone in my family, because they just can't manage to remember theirs (even simple ones like hunter2), and they don't want to use a password manager themselves. I'm sure ours is not the only family in the world who does this. So, the burden falls on me to keep their passwords stored and secure, and tell it to them when they need it. Now add 2FA onto that pile and it's just going to be more of a hassle for me.
