No. No it's not.
If you're making software for the wider-public you can't demand people download a special app for it. Or even understand what a 2FA code is.
SMS is the only way, so far, to make 2fa adoption fast amongst everyone.
- dend 9y agoNot quite true - smartphone market penetration is quite large, so it is possible to reliably offer a universal app (see: MS Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy) for code auth. Now, sure, you can argue that SMS should be kept as an _option_ but it should never be the only one.
