“Reduce Two Step Verification On This Device”

It took me awhile to figure out what this message on my insurance portal login page meant. I’m assuming it means “if you check the Remember Me option, you will not be required to do the two-step verification as often on this device.”

If so, that is an extremely poor way to word that.

I see these options to turn off 2FA for a period of time, and I always wish there was an option to never see these messages. I want sites like my insurance portal to require me to do 2FA every single time, and worry about inadvertently checking the box and downgrading the login security.
