Hey guys on the Intertubes, perhaps you'll never see this, but if you do, please read the following: SMS is a terrible way to 2FA, don't do it, ever.
I was pretty annoyed when a couple apps forced me to start using an authenticator, but I'm glad for it now.
Pretty much all the sites I use offer authenticator apps or passkeys/security keys. But my bank only offers SMS and sets a limit on password length.
I joined the pro-OTP club when I found open source alternatives to Google, Microsoft Authenticator and Authy (which Twilio would later ruin). Before I didn't like it.
