aaronpk it's recently become apparent that it's insecure for many reasons, but at one point, it was seen as a good solution for 2-factor auth. many providers added it, and now some are demoting it or at least letting you opt out of it. the point is the security landscape is always changing, and I would rather trust someone whose business it is to handle authentication to keep up with those changes.
