I just learned something wild…

Using two-factor authentication with a text message is pure baloney. It’s not “security” at all…it’s fraud waiting to happen.

Here’s why: your phone provider can literally swap your number in minutes. That means a hacker can get your code just as easy as resetting a password on your email.

All it takes is a SIM swap, and suddenly your “protection” is gone.

That’s not security, that’s a clown show.

Fiat world. More like clown world. 🤡

Yes... 2FA with a centralized service requires trust in the service provider... That doesn't make 2FA garbage. It's the same with literally any 2FA system. Email/text/ whatever. It's another layer of friction for any would be attacker.
