One of my friends got an internship doing dev there in like 1999/2000. They were already using 2FA (with a chunky but functional hardware dongle that had a small 8-segment display that updated every minute or two) to secure SSH access. Even with that, there were very tight limitations on what could be accessed at all over the network. I'm slightly impressed if I see an org that has a 2FA setup half that good now twenty years later (there are soooo many that don't).

I remember those dongles - and they weren't cheap. We had one for a sensitive part of the business (which probably was counter-productive because it got passed around like a potato).
