> SMS is a terrible solution that really only solves "you used the same password across two sites

Right. That’s the sole purpose. People pick bad passwords and reuse them, but you already know that.

As much as tech tries to make this easy people, it’s a horse-vs-water problem. Even smart people refuse to use to use password managers. Most of those people have figured out how to receive text messages.

Seriously, go find someone who owns a JitterBug phone and watch them create a new account on the website of your choice. We’ve got a long way to go.

Instead of pushing a non-solution that trades one issue for another we should be educating people on password managers. Every major browser has built-in password management.
