New mandatory 2 factor authentication

This 2FA is killing me. I can’t believe I just had to use it again to write a post. I was already logged in! What are they so afraid of? The biggest problem for me is that many of my 12 devices will often show red or offline when they are not. I can see them from other instances of the App. The guidance I received from support was to log out then back in. This actually does work and the devices become available. It would be nice if the App worked properly as the video is already so slow to load. So, when someone is on the street and I want to look at video it is not available. The workaround is to log out then log back in. When I do, I have to wait for an email then input a verification code. Put out a disclaimer that turning off 2FA is at my own risk and I will accept it. I hate this forced exercise. Does anyone know if Nest does this to customers? I have 5 of their smoke alarms so I should just switch over to their devices and sell this Ring stuff on CraigsList.
