🏒 Lucian Marin If they add a first factor (4 digits PIN code) and this second factor (cnet.com/news/yaho...), then we won't have to remember a password ever again. The PIN code is a weak link, but doesn't do much without your phone. Your phone is a weak link, but you won't get the SMS without the PIN code. Chained together they're almost stupid and fail proof.

Martijn SMS is a very open protocol, and actually isn't treated as safe by many security researchers. If they know your phone number and guess the 4 digit PIN, chances are you can be cracked. Not to say multi-factor authentication isn't the way forward, it totally is! Google Authenticator might be a solution, while we keep waiting for FIDO.
