Why is it a must?

Passwords death has long been predicted as they simple don’t work. Multi factor authentication is the new standard.

@Why no Two-Factor Authentication?

That’s literally impossible. If you deposit $10,000 via card 1234, and later on you deposit $1 using card 6789 (presumably the fake one), then we will not refund $10,000 towards card 6789. Its a standard AML precaution. Neither someone can remove that easily the card 1234 from our system - we’ll need a document issued by your bank, which confirms that the card has expired/stolen/etc. Moreover, an email confirmation is sent upon withdrawal. So you’ll be notified additionally. And if someone d…

If I understand correctly from this example, your point is that even if someone manages to get access into your account, they can’t take your money out, right? Well, what if the attackers sell your positions and spend your money in bad CFD or future trades? You could end up losing the money and have to pay taxes for the closed positions (if there was any profit) ofc.

The reason I would like to have MFA is because I believe that no matter how careful I am, my credentials can be hacked, and in that case, I want an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorised access. Keep in mind that MFA doesn’t guarantee you won’t get hacked, it just means that there’s an extra layer of security that an attacker would have to break, therefore increasing the complexity and cost of the attack.
