SMS should be renamed to 2FA since that's the last remaining use for me, and only until the laggards upgrade to support Authenticator apps (I'm looking at you TD Canada Trust and PC Financial).
- brimble 5y agoSMS is like email for me, these days: only used for transactional messages that I'm expecting, and spam. Both are almost exclusively ways for computers to send me messages.
- Melatonic 5y agoI just realized that if this STIR/SHAKEN thing (or something similar) was implemented for SMS it could potentially make using SMS for 2FA much more secure - there could be a relatively secure way to verify automatically that the sender of the 2FA code is legit and that the code is only being sent to the proper device.
