It is a TREMENDOUS pain in the ass when you change phone numbers and don’t update all your 2fa accounts

Been dealing with this for weeks trying to get tax docs

I get that and for that reason I don’t plan on ever changing my phone number. I still have a Lubbock area code and I’ve been in DFW for 15 years now.

Always keep your old phone for 24 hours before you trade it in to switch those apps over. I tell this to clients all the time. A lot easier to setup on a new phone if you can approve the login on the old phone using wifi.

He's talking about the apps not phone number, most sites use Google 2fa or Microsoft 2fa.

I have like 8 of those damn things on my phone for different applications I have to access. Really need a one app fits all one.

Fuckin huge pain in the ass. I’ve changed numbers multiple times the last few years: mostly from changing work cell phones. It was awful this time though because I have 2fa on everything

lol I have had the same cell number since 2004. Have no interest in a company phone for that reason. They just give me $50 a month stipend for it.
