I think it’s because of the copy that usually comes with these codes. It usually reads something like “COPY DOWN THESE CODES AND KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE.” Which doesn’t come off as “look, you’ll still need your password”

Yeah, the way it was written when generating the codes, I also had the impression that they would bypass everything.
