TMobile has been blocking 2FA texts/calls so everytime I sign in to Twilio is a supreme hassle. But only a problem with Twilio - so maybe the issue is on their side
- lloydatkinson 5y agoProbably a double irony because twilio is used for sending a lot of spam SMS.
- death_syn 5y agoTwilio is often a source of the spam texts and calls, so it would make sense for a cellular service provider to block them.
- 300bps 5y agoIt isn't just Twilio. When I had T-Mobile, I was able to get 2FA SMS from about 1/3 of the companies that I use it with. Even financial companies like Vanguard and many others, never were let through with T-Mobile. I called T-Mobile and asked them to open it up completely. No improvement. I switched my same phone with same phone number to another provider and I get all texts that I am hoping to get now and get literally no spam texts.
- dylan604 5y agoMaybe TMobile is doing you a favor is showing just how insecure 2FA via SMS really is.
- zonethundery 5y agoThey switched this off for everyone at some point. Call customer service and they'll turn it back on.
- bluedevil2k 5y agoUse the Authy app then
- istillwritecode 5y agoThe Authy app is not exactly TOTP - it's a bastardized version that requires you to supply a phone number to use it because that is what they use as a seed. Since twilio is a spam company, I would advise against this.
- folkrav 5y agoDoesn't Twilio offer TOTP? SMS-based is pretty insecure as far as 2FA goes.
