@Aadityaarora you have two options: do it and make the messages stop, or keep ignoring the messages (technically a third option would be to not be a team leader anymore). Complaining is no option.

This is not how 2FA works.

Thing is, it not only protects against willingly giving away your data. It protects against the things you *do not* intend to do. Things that may be well out of your control.
If you value *any* member of your team just a little bit, you really should activate this. Not activating is a threat to all the members, not only to you.
I think 2FA should simply be mandatory - this would stop all those discussions immediately. It seems to have worked for you on github.
Alternatively, lichess should show a big warning on the team page warning anyone about the deliberate avoidance of best practices, so that one can deeply reconsider becoming a member of that team, whose leader doesn't give a ... for the security of their members.

well it was kinda mandatory on github im a dev of like 3 prodjects (@dev65spacguy btw) and i knida had to otherwise it stop me form everything lichess on teh other hand shouldnt have mandatory 2fa because if it was it wouldnt really eb called the high rated free chess website
I was two team leaders nothing happened to me. So what? Who cares about extra protection. Its like paying insurance for random al' things like toys books etc... I never got hacked. why wold only team leaders special players and coaches get hacked?????? hmmm I have a question why would hackers come into Lichess? Lichess is a securer place to to play chess. so is this a lichess problem or our problem? Thas interesting. Maybe we should contact lichess. I dont think this is our problem
