As much as you may believe pm implementing 2FA made your account more secure in fact it has made it less secure. Now if a fraudster or a hacker gains access to your email or your phone there is nothing stopping them from resetting your password and gaining access to your account. Previously they would have to provide the answer to your security question. That is a far harder to accomplish especially if you make a habit of changing it. Disabling 2FA on your account does not put it at that higher of a risk if you practice good internet security of keeping your personal identity info private, use strong separate passwords for your accounts and if you additionally use an account specific email for your pm account.
I would much prefer to have the option of not having 2FA but the return of the security question and answer, removal of the ability to reset your account pin # back to the customer support back end and the ability to change the login username to an actual username vs the email. These would make your self serve account far more secure than it is currently with 2FA.
That's your opinion and in mine, that's not correct. Majority of people for 'security question' put something that can be easily find on their social profiles, like where they were born, what is their pet name etc. I do have email protected with super-strong password + 2FA and I would be really surprised if somebody gets in. I don't use phone number for 2FA for my email, only TOTP apps. If they get my phone, then I would worry about more than just my 'Public Mobile' account but there is also some protection there too. Point is, nothing is bulletproof secure, but if somebody is able to get though all these things to get into my account, I'm sure they are able to get in places where they can benefit much more. As for Public Mobile, I cannot impact on what they do or not, all I was saying is that they should have implemented some 'remember me' feature..
