Python users (pypi.org) just got hit that were using TOTP.

"If the user had enrolled a Security Device for PyPI second factor authentication, the attacker would not have been able to use the second factor, as the WebAuthn protocol requires the user to physically interact with a hardware security key, or use a browser-based implementation, which would not be possible if the user was not on the legitimate PyPI.org website (Relying Party Identifier)."
