My problem is the number of steps and hoops to do something that used to be very fast. I feel like this is the opposite of what us engineers are supposed to offer our users. I get it is very secure, but I don't think this is a good compromise. Login should not be a chore. I should be minimally aware of it and still safe. That's my ideal experience.
