Machine reaching back > to you is the difference. The only "value added" is for those third-party providers: they know where & when you are logging into which service and can monetize on it. It's just the basic antipattern you can see everywhere in surveillance capitalism: provide a service which interposes between users and the things they do (search, communicate, marketplace, transport; in the current case: identity management), try to make them dependent, monetize the knowledge you gain about your users. Not all 2FA is like that, of course. When your second factor is a hardware dongle (best if you control it, i.e. it's open hardware and free firmware, Nitrokey comes as near as it gets). Still, why? A loong password is not "equivalent" to 2FA, that's right. Good password management (of which length is but a part) is as secure as 2FA. Cheers -- t
