Comment on Researcher uncovers one of the biggest password dumps in recent history
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months agoA smartphone is infinitely more secure than relying on a SIM card not being compromised. A little social engineering can get you access to receive a text as the link isn’t even controlled by you but a third party. An app on your phone is likely secured by a pin/biometric, and a password/pin/biometric, both controlled by you.

Oh cmon, you can get a smartphone literally for free these days. And yes, having a cell phone of some type is pretty much a requirement to live in society these days. Even if you are just communicating over free McDonalds wifi (no shame, been there done that) you pretty much need a smart phone in the modern world.
