Get the 2nd factor
- zwily 9y agoGet the 2nd factor... that's NOT sms.
- Spivak 9y agoSMS as a second factor is fine. As bad as it is it can't reduce your security compared to just a password. SMS as an account recovery mechanism is the problem.
- macspoofing 9y agoSMS is the 2nd factor. Actually it's worse than just a 2nd factor because a compromised phone number can usually be used for password recovery
- BrandonLive 9y agoYou are confusing two different things. The problem is one factor account recovery, because it means you have one factor auth.
