The article discusses the inadequacies of SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA), focusing on the challenges faced by individuals in remote areas, such as mountains, where cell service is often unreliable. It highlights alternative 2FA methods like Google Voice, Google Fi, and Passkeys, which provide better security and accessibility. The comments also reflect on the technical issues and user experiences with 2FA systems, particularly the frustrations that arise when services rely only on mobile connectivity for authentication, making them hostile to users in low-signal zones. The debate emphasizes the need for improved solutions that take into account users' diverse environments, and addresses the common misconceptions about SMS 2FA being wholly secure or applicable for all users.
