I go to log into GOG but guess what??
They don't think it's me so they force a 2FA.
...
My question is ... If you won't let me log into your shop without 2FA because I may be an evil cyber criminal then why in the hell are you displaying my COMPLETE email address to said cyber criminal on your 2FA screen???
...
Nobody else does that... For a reason!
-------------------------------
Edit:
Ok so my email is my login... Good point.
My login is kinda automatic so hadn't really thought about it. I was just a bit gobsmacked to see my details displayed on the screen before they had confirmed my identity.
.
I have no issue with email 2FA but I would still feel more comfortable with a partially starred out email being displayed.
Other sites do this, even if they use email as a login.
