Sometimes your customer ends up in a situation where stolen passwords allow the thief to redirect bank transactions and loose a lot of money.
The stolen password may even be strong, but any other kind of phishing technique has revealed it to the thief.
A 2FA or any other kind of "device authorization" may protect you further.

Greetings
I am a 'rural' person and my stupid phone coverage is about a
wonderful and likely as
finding honest politicians. I have therefore become most vehemently
anti any kind of
authentication that necessitates the use of a 'stupid phone'. I would
suggest that
demanding the use of serious passwords would make the need for such more than
one factor authentication much less likely.
This may never be an issue for you but this is almost a daily problem
here and the
industry (computer) seems to believe otherwise therefore my interjecting!
