I had 2FA on phone long before they enforced it. US government already has acces to ,y stuff since it's Microsoft. So don't care about NSA backdoor in the 2FA app.

Fwiw 2FA* saved my ass once, many years ago, when someone hijacked my domain**, set an email forward and reset the Github password.

* = and the hackers lazyness, they could have done way more damage

** = where I forgot to set 2FA AND probably reused a password, despite having stopped reusing passwords years before the hack - forgot to change that one

I noticed and cut them off in a matter of hours. I guess they were Russian or Chinese working office hours and just stopped for the day.
