   I wondered about the notion of SIM stealing, where someone swaps your   
   number to compromise 2FA. Does anyone do that? Seems awfully directed,   
   unless I have millions in bitcoin I assume I'm safe from that.   
      
   I do like TOTP, I've been using Authy, and having a means of backing up   
   the seeds is nice. It's a pain when your phone crashes and you need to   
   re-set up MFA.   
      
   Hint - use a password manager to save MFA backup codes.   
      
   I found out Keepass can even generate TOTP from within the app!
