Hi Mods,
Thank you for running the Public Mobile site and for your assistance. I know you have been working on making changes and updates to the site to make it more user-friendly, which is great.
A couple of things I've noticed that, perhaps, you may be working on?
If your team is looking into these glitches, I would be happy to user-test them for you. Please let me know.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

These apps don't have to be used just for verifying email accounts associated with those two companies; they can be used to verify Paypal, facebook, etc. Just my two cents.
^This. 2FA through authenticator apps is the best way to secure user accounts. As @popping noted, SMS is not ideal (better than nothing, but not as secure as TOTP).

SMS message can be intercepted too. But it is better than just using email/password.

authenticator app is a better solution.

I had the same issue with the email/password verification recently too.
I ended up supplied the answers for the 8 questions to get through to moderator.
Agree with SMS verification. Two users of my accounts that I managed do not live with me.
