On that topic, does anyone know about a good alternative that can be used just for a secure SMS number? Google Voice has been mentioned several times but it's unclear to me how that helps.
- dbmnt 4y agoIt helps. I try to use an authenticator app whenever possible, but use a Google Voice number if a service requires SMS-based auth. The trick is to not forward the texts to another cell number. You can either view them using the Voice web interface, or forward them to your Gmail on the same account. Then lock that Google account down as much as possible. I use Advanced Protection (https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/). This is WAY more secure than using T-Mobile or another cell provider's SMS.
