RE: What is U2F? If You Use Text Messaging As Your Two Factor Authentication For Coinbase/Gmail, You Need To Read This Now

in #security7 years ago

You mean to disable "SMS text messages as your 2FA", not delete your phone number associated with Coinbase (i forgot, but isn't a phone number needed for your Coinbase - as an identity or something?)
Two ways I researched to avoid this issue and keep your phone:

  1. Get a pre-paid phone (not associated with any identity)
  2. Google Voice number
    if someone knows more about the subject, please feel free to comment...

Another thing to add.. It seems that nowadays everyone is using Gmail. Ok, i wonder, don't people use paid email providers? (like if you have your own domain ) or maybe in cryptoland that's way more transparent...
..... Now all other story is if you lose your phone or that physical key breaks (or is lost).......
