I got a new phone recently and was dismayed at how easy it was to reset the 2FA on various accounts. Some fall back to SMS in that case (which has well-documented insecurities), while others allow you to call customer support and reset it without providing too much to prove that you’re the account owner. There has to be a path for people who lose or break their phones with their Authenticator apps, but I’d feel better if it was a little more difficult than it seems to be in most cases.
