If you administer a GitLab instance, it looks like you ought to apply a 
patch from January.

If you merely have an account, MFA / 2FA will prevent someone from 
taking over your account, but you may be susceptible to someone else 
generating password resets on your behalf.

Which would amount to merely an inconvenience.
