Right, unless you configure multi-factor by hand. My specific concer is
that there's a relatively easy to access switch which opens up the
system to more exposure than may be immediately obvious. I think the
idea of forcing a password change when this switch is toggled has some
problems. Maybe adding some more explanatory text to the dialog for
enabling "Remote login" could help, but I'm skeptical about that too;
hence this suggestion.
