I disagree, it is a flaw in their system, because they make the assumption that an aspect of the telephone system is secure when it's not.

- judk 12y agoThe user makes that assumption. Google offers and promotes Authenticator for users who want a secure connection.
- andreasvc 12y agoI submit that a negligible proportion of users is aware that voicemail may be used as a factor, so they're not actively making that assumption. I would say it's Google's responsibility to protect users from the many insecure voicemail systems of telcos, since extra security is the whole point of enabling 2FA.
