- Avoid using SMS text message as your 2F authentication
for a few reasons.
- You might lose your phone.
- Your phone might not work if you travel internationally.
- It is suggested that you use email (recommended) or authentication apps as 2F authentication.
- If you have to use SMS text message as your 2F authentication:
- Get a cheap phone with a cheap plan. For example, a Xiaomi phone + Liantong Mi Plan is a good combination.
- Install a SMS message forwarding app on your phone to forward messages to your email.
- Now you can just leave this phone at home and use it as your universal 2F authentication.
