Follow up: Product improvements to decrease unpaid tickets spend
As a follow up to #4140 , we want to follow up on whether the previously identified GitLab issues are on the planning board to decrease spend on unpaid user tickets as this has come up in recent Key Reviews, and R&D Variance meetings. This is a companion issue to what we can do within Support: #4814 (closed)
Note: Checkbox = scheduled for near future milestone.

[Auth] Backlog but Acknowledged 2FA self-service improvements: gitlab-org&3783 ; particularly Interrupt user to confirm recovery options (gitlab-org/gitlab#219051) - Note: We deprecated this for unpaid users. However, we still get a fair number of tickets where users are asking for support.

[Workspace] 15.8 - 15.10 Simplify recovery of deleted groups: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8837 - Note: we never offered this to free users, but we do often get inquiries and they have to be responded to manually. This would also help paid customers and ourselves.
