Requiring 2FA for retired staff

[Kale]

So who even does this? I have heard of 2FA being a requirement to be staff on forums, websites, and blogs before... But never ever being being a retired staff member.

It just sounds like the owner or so doesn't trust the former staff member(s) if they force 2FA on them. I would never require 2FA but offer it as an option for mods. I do think Admins should enable 2FA at all times on their accounts though. I can access my email I use to register on these forums every day thankfully, but it's still weird to require it for retired/former staff.

If retired staff members do not have mod/admin powers, then that seems a little odd.

If they do still have mod/admin powers then I can see why that would be put in place.

I cannot see a reason for this at all.

Agreed!

I'm trying to work out where you get this information from. what idea is this from?

You know a site that is already doing this?

The only thing I can think of is the admin forgot to turn off the 2FA requirement feature from the retired staff’s account. There’s no real reason to require a retired staff member to have 2fa on unless they don’t trust the retired staff. Even then, you’d think they would ban anyone they didn’t trust anymore…
