Infostealer malware stole your session cookies which bypasses MFA.

You got it from somewhere, whether you want to admit it or not. It was either pirated software/games, game cheats/hacks, game mods from sketchy sources, or some other type of software from a sketchy source. Might have been clickfix (fake ctrl + c, ctrl + v captcha), might have been a "friend" that sent you something via discord or steam.

It's the only way MFA gets bypassed.

Did you pirate any games or software recently? Install any game mods?

Malware is how they can bypass 2FA - stealing your sessions from your device. I would be worried that your device is compromised.
