The extension allows secondary authentication via email. While this is less secure than other two-factor methods such as Extension:OATHAuth, this does not have to be set up by the user, it only requires an email address.
The EmailAuthRequireToken hook is used to decide when the second factor is required. Without adding a handler for that hook e.g. in site configuration, the extension will not do anything.
