Hey just a gentile tip: ⚠️

❌ DO NOT USE SMS 2FA ❌

Lots of sites still erroneously describe SMS 2FA as "Secure"

It's not! ❌📱

All someone has to do is know your phone number and call the company asking for a new sim 😱

And they have all your accounts 😨

@ocean that's a reason I'm happy you can't do it here

@kogomi Yeah, literally not having 2FA is safer than SMS 2FA

@ocean oh god yes. Still don't like it that PayPal uses sms in favour of a security key. Like, for real! I had once added my security keys (only then I saw that you can only add one...).

1. Optionally login with Security Key
2. Login with SMS (because more secure, blahblah)
3. Do shit

Same with TOTP btw. I hate PayPal!

@ocean provided they know your passwords. unless it's using passwordless login, but in that case, it isn't really a second factor.
