Implementing 2FA when it was first introduced was cost-prohibitive for most solution providers. Mandatory hardware tokens were expensive. Today there are many affordable (and free) solutions for removing the barrier. If you provide any type of service where confidential information is available by logging into your system, you should have 2FA implemented.
Setting up Two-Factor in ConnectWise Manage

Enable Two-Factor for the ConnectWise Manage Member (User)
