NewsNation: FBI warns against using two-factor text authentication | Morning in America"

Does anyone oppose any piece of advice given in this video?

I don’t oppose any but I have had a gut feeling that some sites that use “two factor authentication” are selling my phone number to scammers. I never got spam texts util I started being forced to use two factor authentication.

It’s pretty shameful that most financial institutions don’t support MFA apps or FIDO2 hardware keys.

Ally Bank and my local credit union… still only use text-based two-factor. My credit cards? All text-based.

Schwab and Fidelity use MFA apps.
