Today's random reminder:
1) Enable 2fa on all your accounts where you can
2) *not* SMS if you have another option
3) Google Voice is a fine last-chance SMS option but not for the account associated with the GV account
4) SAVE YOUR RECOVERY CODES SOMEWHERE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT TO GET TO THEM!
A lot of people fail at that last one, including me. Also including my sister-in-law who lost her phone on a bus in Panama.
Seriously, recovery codes are great, which is why you should print them out and, if you have someone you trust to hold such things, you should send a screenshot of them to for safekeeping.
