Most services that implement 2FA using SMS and/or Email have been
compromised multiple times.

Services that implement 2FA using TOTP or even App-based Push Notifications
have not.

If someone has your ARIN login, and you use the same passwords on ARIN as
you do with your email provider, then they have access to your email
account. And they can impersonate you to ARIN using the emailed code.
