There was a discussion about the topic of MFA resets on the Risky Business podcast[0] in which the host, Patrick Gray, suggested companies require a one time fee for MFA resets. I think the suggested amount in the show was $50 which seems reasonable enough for western markets. It creates a deterrent for attackers and in the case of free products like GitLab allows the support costs to be covered. Additionally the act of payment itself can help prove identity.
