It's true that multifactor authentication is still a security best practice, but there have been recent attack vectors that circumvent the mitigation controls it provides and shows once again that no security solution is 100% effective. There are ways that use Phishing, Social Engineering and several SIM-Jacking tricks.The "Authenticator" method can be better than 2FA via text. This works on the principle called TOTP, or the “Time-based One-Time password”. This is secure than the SMS because the code is generated in your device and not carried over the network. You got to use an App - like Google Authenticator, LastPass, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy or Yubico.However, any malware present on your Andriod phone, still makes this vulnerable too. These Malware can copy your codes to the hacker.</blockquote>
