last time I signed into my Microsoft 365 account for work I got two separate 2fa prompts and two captchas, it was like being in an episode of the crystal maze. the mere act of signing into something is now tedious and difficult
And there will be more and more cases where their systems got it wrong, marked the real owner as an intruder, blocked the account, made it impossible to recover. It's quite surreal that someone who understands security, has a good password, is doing everything right, can still be locked out because some badly designed background check didn't pass. Like using "the wrong" browser or using a vpn, or other privacy protecting tools.
