> The simple fact that 2FA can be removed by low level support staff drives me mad. It defeats the whole purpose of the process.

Crazy Domains (one of the few registrars for my ccTLD) removed 2FA from my account (that was in the process of getting hijacked) despite me being on the phone with them specifically telling them not to do so [1][2].

What's worse was that my account got targeted by the same hijacker again when they seemingly changed their support system, and was hijacked for a few hours, leading to my Twitter account getting compromised (this happened around the same time fElon laid off a bunch of people and removed phone-based 2FA from accounts).

Fuck Crazy Domains and Newfold Digital (formerly known as EIG).

I eventually lost my OG username because fElon wanted it for his Grok nonsense anyway [3]. Fuck Elon too.
