Password reuse and 2FA enforcement.
Although, we at HN are the shining tier of amazingness (/s), most people will use the same password across as many accounts as they can, or use some dirivation of the password.
The bigger issue is that plenty of people don't enable 2FA onto their emails as it's never really suggested by the providers, some just don't support it, and the fear of getting locked out of something so central.

It's better than SMS 2nd Factor though.
