Two-step Authentication: Finally Coming to a University Near You
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2016/06/21/two-step-authentication-finally-coming-to-a-university-near-you/

While universities may not be motivated to change their authentication
model for the sake of publishers, a stronger system will
unquestionably make it harder for Sci-Hub and other future iterations
of pirate websites to use compromised accounts to build their
collections. For publishers, this is a a beneficial step. However,
there may be an unintended consequence to adding another step to the
authorization process. Off-campus users, who presently find their
institution’s authentication process exasperatingly complicated, may
be further driven from using authorized library resources. Adding more
security to campus networks may unfortunately drive more authorized
users into the shadows.
