I read somewhere the compromised mod accounts on Twitter had two factor authentication set up, but had chosen 2FA via SMS.
I am not an expert. But, IMO, any authentication methodology that utilizes such insecure protocols to deliver information is inherently flawed.
I have always felt that way about 2FA via SMS though.
I use an app on my phone that gives me rolling codes for all my sites. Highly recommend using one.
If you go this route, pay no mind to the type of 2FA app the site recommends, or outright says you need to use. You don't need to use Google of Microsoft's authenticator. If you see a QR code to add 2FA to your account, your authentication app will most likely work, IME.
I use AndOTP for Android but am looking to switch to an open source option I watched The Hated One on YT mention the other day. Not sure which one it was but if you are looking to stay anonymous online and secure you'd be well served to watch a few of his most-watched videos. The guy is sage and brings the goods.
