Blearily you unlock it, glance at a prompt, and then approve a login and fall back asleep.

The idea that people would approve that is wild to me.

Mate, I've had users who were sharing an account that only some of them had MFA prompts for. They didn't bother checking who had initiated the prompt, they just approved it because it was easier. And that was while they were fully awake and thinking...

What's funny to me is that doing this while you know your target is asleep probably has a higher success rate just because they're more likely to press the wrong thing just because their eyes are groggy.
