Google Authenticator is pretty easy to use, as are the alternatives. Also really easy to provision. Not sure how SMS is more practical than an offline code gene

- azinman2 11y agoFirst notice how "pretty easy" isn't the same as straightforward. Good luck getting my mom to figure it out. If you lose your phone, upgrade to a new one, or erase and restore it you lose all your authenticator credentials. That doesn't happen with SMS. If you're in a situation where security is paramount, then physical cards or authenticator are a better way to go. If you're 99.9% of the population, Sms is a far better solution.
