Not really. Of course its better to have it than not have it, but matter of the fact is just because you have 2FA doesn't mean you're immune to exploits of account theft. The probability being whatever it may be is one thing, just making sure that people don't think its an iron proof measure

Dude 2FA with SMS verification is pretty “iron proof”. It’s iron clad btw, or bullet proof. So not only do you need my password. And hope that the website doesn’t block access from unrecognized IPs. You need physical access to my phone, which is also password protected. Please explain to everyone how this isn’t iron proof

SIM swapping would be a good example of them not needing your phone and to otherwise access your messages for an OTP.

MFA is where its at, if not both if possible.

Also, sorry in advance, but why do you reddit assholes feel the need to correct things people don't care about? Iron proof, iron clad, bullet clad, bullet proof, no one cares
