Yeah if your email has been "pwned" in a data breach (see haveibeenpwned.com) you'll never stop getting log in attempts from people credential stuffing your email address wherever they can. Which is why you should use different, strong passwords for every site you use, and an extra strong one for your email.

If your email shared a password with any of those accounts on compromised sites they would have access to your emails too, and be able to get to the 2FA and delete the email before you even knew it arrived. With Steam Guard though, it's not connected to email or a phone number, it's an app on your mobile device, so the only way to get in would be to physically steal your device first. Edit: or trick you into giving them the 2FA code, as another user said.

That's what's so great about it, it's a parody biopic, not a real biopic about Alfred Yankovic's early career. Al is heavily involved in the production. It's gonna be hilarious.
