3. Get over the abbreviated technical terms, please.
2FA, TFA MFA, OTP, TOTP, HOTP... no. Those are technical implementation details that are important, but are not easily-understood terms. Don't use those in prominent user-facing strings!
The widely-accepted terms are "two-factor authentication code" and "one-time password". I suggest using those terms, and if needed, mentioning the technical implementation less prominently.
