Getting caught abusing a side-channel like that is an easy way to get booted from the App Store. FTFY. Also, it's Facebook. Surely they have some strategic/political strings they can pull?

TOTP is one thing. Having your backup TOTP key locked in a safe effectively stops it from being abused. SMS 2FA, on the other hand, has real security issues[0][1]. In my experience, SMS 2FA is most commonly the required type of 2FA, before

Perhaps the folks running these networks lack the incentive to care about technical correctness? OTOH, one would think a better system would lead to a higher conversion rate (i.e. more people are actually able to pay you).

I think 'rasz is suggesting that a well-designed higher layer should cross-check its various inputs before doing stupid things. If GPS says we moved but tire rotation says we didn't, well, maybe don't blindly trust the GPS?
