Secure your account from what?

If a UA database gets hacked and somehow bad actors got credit card numbers/account numbers/etc (which I'm confident UA has great security) 2FA won't help you.

If you misplaced your phone and somehow left it unlocked - a bad actor still needs to log into your account to get information.

I mean this seriously, what are people worried about? I do assume UA systems are secure - and I take personal responsibility that my Apps/PC is also secure.
