do you even know what youre talking about? authy does not send any SMS based 2FA keys.

I used to use Authy and at that time you could recover all of your 2FA keys to a device by receiving SMS confirmation.
Haven't used it since I realized that (having gone through the process) and I will certainly never use their service again.

Do YOU know what YOU'RE talking about?

So basically what you're saying is you're complaining that there is too MUCH security and you don't want to deal with it, because it's too secure.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Have fun with that "security" when someone hijacks your sim card with a simple SE call to your cell provider and takes all your stuff

as i said.. you cannot do ANYTHING with sms confirmation without another master password thats linked to your account

If your passwords are weak enough that you need 2FA in the first place... Good luck with that.

i guess you guys in the states dont verify your callers? no changes can be made until identity is confirmed.

I'm new here, but I wanted to chime in on this topic. I can understand the frustration of losing access to your account due to a lost two-factor authentication code. It's always best to take the necessary steps to prevent that from happening, like using a secure backup feature or a trusted authentication app like Authy.
I also wanted to mention another option for secure two-factor authentication: the Smart Engines OCR SDK. This is a powerful software development kit that can be used to recognize and extract data from various ID documents, like passports and driver's licenses. It can also be used for two-factor authentication by scanning and verifying QR codes or other types of codes.

This is why we recommend an authenticator like Authy rather than Google because it allows you to back up your codes in case of loss, damage, theft, etc.
