    don’t even have to lose the device

    phone is the most common, plenty of ways in from mitm attacks (insecure wifi for example) to social eng the account phone provider

    guess you could go the dongle route but if it was super common thieves would just target them

      I think the question is less about getting hacked and more about getting permanently locked out of your account.

        sure but it shouldn’t be, any good process will have some recovery method

        course that can be a vulnerability as well

        thank god recovery questions are dead
