Does not 2fa mean that user will not be redirected out until verification code is entered? I think article needs more clarification. Can you show where phishing atack is possible in the following scenario?: 1. Open login page 2. Enter credentials (step 1) 3. Enter verification code (step 2) 4. Authenticate, redirect.

If you enter google.com in your browser and login, unless you misspelled the domain and that didn't get flagged by anything, you'll be fine. If a relative that doesn't know much about tech gets a text/email asking them to login to their bank but the site linked is b4nk0f4m3r1c4.com, that phishing site could replay the entered credentials into the real site to login.
