> How does this work when you need a phone for 2fa?

Just out of curiosity, suppose you are not on-call for work and it is an observed holiday. Do you foresee the need for two factor authentication for non-work activities?

In other words, is 2fa a requirement for daily life?

Level 4 is going into the office for a day, so anyone requiring 2fa at work cannot pass that point

There's no need to overcomplicate a silly exercise with rigid rules.

Focus on the intent of the exercise. If you really mentally cannot get past 2FA, then get a hardware token, or a TOTP client on your desktop. Lots of solutions if this is really the hangup.

I never stay logged into accounts in browsers on my personal devices. And work requires daily auto. So in general if I need to do anything with any accounts, I need 2fa access. And for the phone apps I do stay logged in to, well, they are on my phone.

One example would be Github for personal projects. There are several other use cases where the phone is a factor for logging into services.

Git pull a day before, git push a day later? Have we forgotten to do anything without a persistent internet connection 24/7? Or why we'd use a distributed version control system in the first place.

We also conditioned to make small feature branches. Even my hobby projects force me to go through PR process.

It was an example of a use case familiar to many here. Some people use Github for more than just git.
