"So why push me to two-factor authentication ?"

To gather even more information (valid phone #) about their users, to sweeten the pot for the sale, and oops... share with the hackers.

My Yahoo! account is strictly for websites that insist on one, there's minimal info in it, and none that's actual.

2FA? With them? Pah! When >name< >password< no longer works, I'll just start using one of my other throw away accounts elsewhere.
