If you're responsible for running a website, how are you going to be resilient against attackers who come to your site with legitimate usernames and passwords of your members?

One way is to email the user when they log in from a new device or computer.

They then have to enter a 6 digit one time password from the email.

Someone who grabs the users email and password from a breach would also need access to their email.
