#1 you will not get "hacked" unless you have downloaded malicious software somewhere that could be scanning your keystrokes or data packets.

#2 the game HAS 2FA, if you login from a different location the game forces you to authenticate via your email.

#3 the games does not send your personal account login info to anyone you are in a party with. (trust me ive checked)

#1 - Wrong, completely

#2 - That is not what two factor authentication is. Two factor authentication is done through other means. So a mobile phone, authenticate via text message to your personal device with a code, another two factor application running that generates a security code based on the setup of the authenticator application itself, that type of stuff. You do not 2fa based on the email setup on the account. Authenticating against the email that is already associated with the account would kind of defeat the purpose of two factor authentication since the account information was already compromised.
