MODERATORS
Two factor auth should be a whole section, and tell people not to use SMS. Mention SIM swap attacks and stingray devices
Tell people setting up 2FA with SMS usually makes their accounts less secure, and only to use TOTP or hardware tokens.
My most important issue is that phone number is a deanon - your main phone number has to be tied to your ID, so the only option would be a longtime rental, which would get expensive, especially if it is one number per each service.
When I do these trainings I tell them never to enter a phone number into an account because its a huge risk
Ideally just don't have a phone number at all
