With Push MFA it's even easier, the sequence goes like this:

Crooks know Barry's password but Push MFA is needed to sign into his account and conduct some crime

Crooks somehow get Barry to go to a site they control believing it is for Work [there are a lot of ways to do this step, links in email, hijacking forgotten subdomains, typo squatting, the list goes on]

The site says "Hi Barry, we need to do Push MFA"

Crooks sign into Barry's real account with the password, causing a Push MFA to happen.

Barry was expecting Push MFA because the bogus site prompted saying it would happen so OKs it.

Crooks have now successfully passed the MFA
