    I think most people are just unaware of the risk that is involved. Healthcare information is some of the most sensitive data on a person and should be protected at all cost.

    Some older people in particular have as much of a self-preservation instinct on the internet as toddlers in real life. If protecting them takes away a tiny bit of agency from them then so be it because they cannot be trusted with such decisions. I believe any reasonable person would use MFA because trading off a tiny bit of convenience for a significant amount of security is always worth it.

      Most of these patients have already received emails from multiple healthcare organizations that their data was breached though.

      The way medical data is stolen isnt through individual accounts usually unless you are famous or a politician.
