That's not how 2FA works
With an email link or a Yubikey it might, but with SMS or an Authenticator app it doesn't add any extra way for me to identify the site.

Email is not really a 2FA though if it can also be used to reset your password.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought about that. Helps that access to my email is 2FA, but it does make for a single point of failure.

That's true, I was talking about a Yubikey.
