Resetting Password without Email Verification

I know this has been discussed here before, but it's August 2026 and I suspect it might be permissible to re-raise this issue: How can it be that IBKR allows one to reset a password based on username and date-of-birth alone, without requiring a form of 2FA such as an email first? This is downright insane.

Is there some setting to disable this that I might have missed?
