I would agree that you have the right to complain jl66: OTOH, when travelling, oft times I have been waiting for a text message, when using an older smart phone that will not work with the latest App's. In these kinds of situations you are often using a newly activated local SIM card, 2FA (via text message) is mandatory, your plane is on the runway; your text message (to activate your phone and your email account, both) never arrive - such are the joys of budget travel

2FA (as a security tool) is not the only form of security I will add.
