      Even stupider is supporting hardware keys for MFA, but having SMS fallback which can’t be disabled (looking at you, Vanguard). I’d much rather have email as my second factor than SMS, and I literally abandoned a bank (Ally) for removing email as an alternative to SMS.

      I assume businesses only jumped at the chance to enable SMS 2FA to get their greedy little fingers on our phone numbers.
