No it would be more like having the key to my house, but after I use the key I can’t get in and have to wait for a text and verification email before my door opens
The clunky user experience in the analogy isn’t wrong but is focused on the wrong thing, having locks is already an annoying user experience.
Having to carry keys everywhere and juggle shopping when opening my door sucks. It would suck more if someone entered my house and stole my stuff so I accept the trade off.
It’s the same with MFA. We all accept a worse user experience for significantly improved security.

Ok. Why don’t you try explaining how digital security works to the security professional some more. I’m sure you’ll convince me real soon 😜
