I'm sure Edicted is already aware, but for anyone else reading this - Google Authenticator is way more secure than SMS 2FA. I believe it's still possible to call some of these companies like Verizon or TMobile and convince them that you're someone else and need to port their number to your phone so you'll receive their texts - and then try and log into their accounts. It's called SIM swapping or SIMjacking. It's entirely avoided by using authenticator apps.
