minus-square@NotMyOldRedditNamelink2•edit-21 month agoDon’t use sms 2fa if you can avoid it. If you add OTP 2fa, be sure to remove sms backup. Literally change banks if they don’t provide a non sms way. Some might not do OTP but they do have 2fa via the app. Buy 2 yubikey (or 3) and protect everything you can with it, but most importantly your email as breaking into your email gets them into too much Leave negative feedback on apps and services that only allow sms 2fa

minus-square@NotMyOldRedditNamelink2•1 month agoAwesome! I just want to double check, you did get at least 2? It’s important to have a backup one in case you lose one as it’s not like an OTP code you get a backup code for.
