MFA for Smart Home devices is a really good idea given the security problems they present. You’re not locking each thermostat adjustment, you’re locking the ability to log in on a device to adjust the thermostat.
A Nest doesn’t have to be connected to a network, at all. They’re wired to your climate system the same way as a dumb thermostat. If you don’t need remote control of your temperature–and I’m gonna be real here, does anyone need remote control of the climate system?–disconnect it from the network.
It’s a dial that turns your temperature up and down. I haven’t adjusted mine since, like, August.
My Nest thermostat keeps wanting to enable two-step authentication. No thank you.
