Consider Physical 2FA

Depending on your exact circumstances and security needs, it’s also probably a good idea to invest in a security key like a YubiKey. These tools, which look like small USB drives, are essentially a form of 2FA. Instead of an SMS text message, you plug one of these keys into your device to get access to your account.

This comes with its own set of tradeoffs and benefits, of course. But it’s much more secure than 2FA via SMS text messaging. That’s because, through a technique called SIM jacking, an attacker can theoretically intercept your 2FA code messages and gain access to your accounts remotely.
