 ah, I see...

so even a 2FA service like Authy, which is linked to your SIM/phone number, is no solution

hm

 If it's a service, then it has social/legal weak point
It is always better to do standalone 2FA then back up the token generator somewhere. But not everyone will take this responsibility.

 I've switched mostly to a FOSS, non-kyc 2FA, but am trapped in Authy bc of Gemini (cc used to get sats). Also MSFT Authenticator for the fiat mining job, but that is unavoidable at this point.

 Is there an option in gemini to toggle 2FA off/on to get a new token?
also my fiat job uses msft suite as well but I reject their authenticator 😂 foss all the way

 no easy option, have to call a number, contact Authy support, blah blah blah
