Thank you for using the word 'may'! Have been doing some more research and using a SMS message as part of a 2FA is considered not only the poorest of security options but it is suggested that such use may actually decrease security. Using a very poor tool may be even worse than using no tool in my experience. So far, in my experience anyway, most that use very strong passwords seem to be quite a bit less likely to succumb to phishing techniques.
