It's not safer if SMS can be used as a recovery method.
- HenryBemis 6y agoYes, this. Is SMS used as a login/OTP (additional to your password - e.g. to make a bank transaction), or can be used as a 'trojan'/backdoor to compromise your account?
- fanf2 6y agoAnd even if SMS starts off being just a second factor, it often gets changed to be used for account resets too, so it becomes a single vulnerable factor.
