I'll agree with your "point," if that actually prevents hacking. Has it been proven to?
Shhh, I have Multiple Personality Disorder. Or whatever they're calling it these days.
It does but not permanently. It adds another layer of user verification. I'm this age, a password is just not enough, two step verification Adda an extra physical protocol

All it is though is another step for them to get through, and they can get through it. It's not impossible or anything.
Ultimately, everything comes down to what you're doing with your account and the company the account is through. You can control one of those, but you can't control the other. It's that simple.

Definitely, but the idea is to make it much more difficult as that is realistic. Two step verification has been compromised before

I remember when my World of Warcraft got hacked a cfew years back. My password was my character's name and then 1; I was 11 years old tough.

The question is how much more difficult it is.
And of course, the question for the user is whether it's worth it.

Nothing can prevent hacking short of plugging the harddrive out of the system, put it in a save, chain it and sink it down the deepest part of the ocean. Anything that is connected to something can be hacked, the only question is how hard someone wants to and how long it takes. You can brute force through anything if you have the patience.
What the two step verifaction does is add a second layer to. That means when hackers breached either your account or a database with your account credentials, they still have to breach the system you use as your second layer. That means unless they also breach your email account or your phone (whichever you chose as security layer), they still have no access.
It does make it a good deal harder for hackers. And it deters most hobby hackers from actually getting control of your account because most prolific hacks these days are pretty much only done to get into databases of big companies, not specifically to gain control over all those accounts. So if they crack say EA or whomever your account is still protected by a layer, compared to being open for anyone who gets their hands on the leaked data.
It doesn't make it save, but safer.

I shouldn't have used the word prevention, I meant to ask if it really makes it harder.
And it seems you've answered that question.
