For us, introducing a simple device and location validation system (track which users log in with which devices and from where), combined with breached password detection from HIBP, which both can trigger an email validation code flow, practically solved the credential stuffing issues we had immediately.

For the user it's kind of a a soft MFA via email where they don't have to enable it, but also don't always get the challenge.

Astonishingly, we had barely any complaints about the system via customer care and also didn't notice a drop in (valid) logins or conversion rates.
