Is there a way to not do email verification but still using 2FA? That way, even if a user's account is somehow phished/compromised, it won't compromise their other accounts.
I just successfully set up 2FA for an account on another instance that doesn't have a verified email without any issues, so there's no need to have done email verification to use 2FA.
Absolutely you can do no phone/email and MFA. It's a TOTP thing like Google or Microsoft authenticator. The service doing the authentication has no idea how it's done on the other side, it just makes sure the codes match.
