    I disagree. 2FA also protects against a breach/leak of the site. If your password is leaked or stored insecurely, then the 2FA still helps.

      But to add to that as well: If the site has stored your password insecurely, they will probably have lost your 2FA secret too. Which even has to be stored in ‘plain text’ in contrast to your password.
