Everyone and their mother wants to send a text message to your phone number and have you enter the 6 digit code just to log into their shitty restaurant ordering app or something. Like who the fuck cares if somebody sees my order history? The worst is when an app on my own phone, sends a text message to the number ON THAT PHONE, to verify my account SECURITY, when it's literally THE SAME PHONE. Like what the fuck. Don't get me started on credit cards and banks. Bank of America and Wells Fargo let me use my credit cards without a peep for $100+ transactions everywhere, as they should. But when I try to make a $7 transaction on an online game, the bank forces me to go through 2FA every single time, even though I've done it 10+ times before. Not to mention, what if my phone runs out of power or I'm abroad and can't receive text messages on my US number? Who is this even helping? Not me for sure. And definitely not them, judging by the above example.

Sounds like your scamming operations have been put to a halt.

I work in security, and guess what the number 1 attack vector/ vulnerability is? Human f**cking mistakes. I dealt with a case where an employee had 2FA prompt enabled (pop-up will appear on your phone/device asking you to authenticate ), and knowingly, they were away from their desk; they clicked “authorise”. So cry me a river, when you or someone you care of gets hacked/compromised big f**cking time, you’ll regret not enabling 2FA.

OP you lack basic logic, hence my comment. 1) if you hate MFA, disable it 2) When service sends the code to your phone, it protects you from account takeover that is done by hacker in Nigeria 3) If you travel abroad where there is no coverage, how do you plan access a web service at the first place? If you want to pay, just use your credit card. If you afraid it will be locked, notify bank before your travel?

SMS isn’t 2FA and NIST recommends against it. Too easy to socially engineer getting a SIM on someone’s number and getting those codes.
I read about the kids that targeted Michael Terpin with SIM swapping and stole $2m of his crypto
Can I get snap referral
no, because referrals are for specific job listings not generic
Yeah I’ll list the jobs to be referred
2fa sms is so last year.
It’s so vendors can collect a working phone number from you and then use it for other purposes.
Let's hope no one ever tries to use your card remotely, or log into any of your apps remotely. The idea of 2FA isn't to stop a person who stole your phone, it's to stop them from hacking you from their phone.
1. Why do they only 2FA for small transactions instead of big ones? 2. Why do I give a shit if my Toys R Us or Yelp account gets hacked? 3. If someone steals my phone, I'd trust Face ID much more than a shitty text message that would show up in the notifications anyways
I wouldn't even care if they hack my bank account or commit fraud with one of my credit cards. Suppose this happens, I call the bank, we sort out the fraud, and they make me whole again. The only reason they have 2FA is to prove that something isn't fraud, except that they clearly don't know what they are doing because they're only doing it for the low value transactions.
