Question: Have people used Google Voice SMS accounts or Twilio SMS accounts for 2FA? Would that be more secure?



I have heard that this is actually better and more secure. Google voice I think isn't susceptible to social engineering attacks like typical phone carriers. Also it's a smarter move to have a separate phone number that isn't related to what a hacker might be able to find out about you just doing basic search engine queries.
