We know that Two Factor Authentication is supposed to be more secure. And Google's Authenticator app which gives you a new "pin" every minute seems quite effective.
But many TFA's use messages to your phone with a pin. Guess what. They are easily hacked! The cellular network protocol used for TFA pins have been hacked and are used to drain your bank account!

Whoda thought! Dongles and Authenticator are still safe, whew.
