You are absolute wrong. 2FA is very effective in protecting accounts against password steals.

I fail to understand how 2FA TOTP gives you junk calls?

SMS based 2FA is not effective but that's nothing new.

Companies pushing to have your phone number for 2FA, even when better alternatives are available, is what gives you junk calls.
