As a person who has very very very terrible wireless phone reception where I live I would hope that there is some other method that can be used to help with two factor authentication without using the bloody useless cell phone. It seems that the programming community thinks that everyone has absolutely wonderful reception so that the use of a SMS text is a wonderful idea. There must be a better option that doesn't need to use of a cell phone. (I hope and if not one should be found!)

Please rethink your proposed plan sir!


In addition to that, it might be worth considering that accessing the web site from the same phone as the one receiving the one-time password defeats the whole purpose of two factor authentication if an attacker has control over the phone.

Key cards with pregenerated one time codes or something like YubiKey:

seems like a much better option.

Kind regards,
