It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

I had to ask a helpdesk for a 2fa reset once. Intrestingly, they didn't make me identify myself except for first and last name. Not sure what point the 2FA has if it's that easy to remove.

Depending on the help desk they probably knew it was you. Did you call from a phone HR knows about? If it was a walk up, did they make the ticket before or after resetting your MFA?

They do have the phone number on record, so I guess that's what they did. More likely though they didn't even check. They made no ticket either, just reset it in the course of an around 3 minute call.

Are you sure there is no ticket? Some systems let you make tickets that the end user is not notified for. Also, depending on the size/ levels of automation your call may have populated all your info on the agents end.
