I’ve been hearing that SMS-based 2FA isn’t very secure because of things like SIM swapping. Some of my banks only offer text message verification for 2FA, which makes me wonder — is it even worth using if it can be bypassed? Would I be better off just creating really long, complicated passwords instead? Curious to hear what others think!
