If you're on a service on a compromised device, you have effectively logged into a phishing site. They can pop-up that same re-login page on you to authorize whatever action they're doing behind the scenes whenever they need to. They can pretend to be acting wonky with a "your session expired log in again" page, etc.
This is part of why MFA just to log in is a bad idea. It's much more sensible if you use it only for sensitive actions (e.g. changing password, authorizing a large transaction, etc.) that the user almost never does. But you need everyone to treat it that way, or users will think it's just normal to be asked to approve all the time.
