The problem with SMS is that it is allegedly trivial to convince a telco to port someone else's number to the new burner SIM you just bought. That seems slightly worse than shared secrets to me.
- kefyras 4y agoSIM swap attack is really baffling to me. Over here, even if someone gained access to your account and initiated porting, you still need to go the store and present your ID to complete it.
