I disagree. I can safely store a long, complex, and unique password. I cannot prevent anyone from social engineering my cell phone service provider and doing a SIM swap.
- johnasmith 5y ago2FA is a layer of security on top of your password. Nothing stops you from using a strong password stored in an encrypted place.
