Many people associate 2FA with being asked for a phone number, which makes it a burden.

  I had to double check to make sure PyPI isn't implementing phone-number based 2FA. I then breathed a sigh of relief. https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2017/07/11/two-factor-via-your-mobile-phone-should-you-stop-using-it/ https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2017/07/11/two-factor-via-y...

    That article/advert you cite makes no reference to PyPI, so I'm not sure what your point is.

      You brought up phone-based 2FA in relation to phone numbers. I added some context on why the two make an awful pair.

        Ah, thanks.
