    well with PGP, the header is unencrypted

    Is there a single large company that even sends PGP email?

    logging into example.com with the user’s email and that 2fa code is going to be a breeze

    Sure, IF 1. you already have the user’s password, and 2. a new code wouldn’t be required/the previous code invalidated when initiating a new login session?

    Like, I’m not saying that 2FA codes via email is secure, but you’re implying that they are making a security hole via this - which I don’t see.

        I used it. For about 10 minutes. Then I read the help files. Then I searched. Then I used it some more. Then I uninstalled it.

      Yeah not following the logic. 2FA via email is insecure. Doesn’t matter where in the email. That person is confused about something.
