>authenticated security code through a text message or phone call
SMS is not the only choice, a phone call is offered. For several of my online accounts, I get a security code through a voice call to the VOIP phone on my desk, which is the only place where I choose to log in to financial accounts.
- bcrl 4y agoPhone calls are not secure. It's pretty easy to get control of a phone number. The local number porting process is really easy to exploit, as is the network if you can obtain SS7 access. SS7 is very much like BGP in that it was designed for a time when security was not a criteria given any real consideration.
