Re:Why is using SMS bad for 2FA? by warrenm on Thursday November 18, 2021 @02:50PM (#29269590)
Problems with SMS:

- it's best effort: message may (or may not) be delivered; they may (or may not) come in order; they may (or may not) be timely

- SIM stealing/swapping is not hard

- it's all plain-text

- if you fatfinger the phone number, your auth code goes to the wrong place
