Monad Dev: SMS is not a strong recovery layer
Monad Dev advises against relying on SMS as the only protection when recovering account access.
Monad Dev has shared a warning about using SMS for account recovery. If losing a password leaves an SMS code as the only barrier, two-factor protection effectively becomes single-factor authentication. The team recommends assuming that a phone number can be taken over.
Why it matters
A phone-number takeover can turn SMS recovery into the weakest part of an account’s security. This matters when designing application security and access-control flows.
