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. 🤡
