IBM websites remember you but ask MFA repeatedly

I am an IBM champion, also Authorized Program Administrator and Primary Relationship Contact and I also work as engineer with the Support portal, FixCentral etc. That means I login to IBM websites a lot. Luckily most IBM sites I use now use a single login page (from login.ibm.com) so they all work the same. I have configured MFA, so after my user-name and password are verified, I get the request to enter my MFA. When correct, I get forwarded to the desired IBM site.

When I visit the IBM support site (www.ibm.com/mysupport) and log in, it asks e-mail address, password and MFA. I can do my job. When I visit a website like CMC after that, in the same browser, it goes through login.ibm.com again. It remembers me, but will still ask for my MFA. I don't know if this is intentional, but it is less user-friendly. It is nice that it doesn't ask e-mail and password again, but why repeat the question for MFA?

It would be nice if login.ibm.com would recognize (just like it 'knows' you are already logged-in) that you passed the MFA check and leave that out too. If too long a time has passed, you cleared cookies, use a different browser or closed the browser it should ask all three items (e-mail, password and MFA) again of course.
