the username and password have long been automated, but now it sends a login code to your e-mail, so you gotta log in to that, which involves another usename and password and a 2fa text message, then by the time you sort all that out the original login code is expired, so you've gotta send it again, which requires you to solve three captchas while drinking a glass of water upside down, then you put it in and it logs you in and you close the private browsing window you used to open gmail before trying to do the actual thing you wanted to do in the first place, at which point the site decides you need to go through the entire 2fa workflow again
