Comment on When people setup two factor authentication on an account on sites that allow it and insert a phone number, does that site assume by default that it's their own number or do they see it as "a" number?

If it doesn’t ask you to verify the number by entering a code that it texts you, it’s not true 2fa.

As for your sister’s account. Are you sure it was her account and not you just viewing her channel? If you were actually logged in to her account it stuck around because sites store credentials via cookies it’s not unheard of to be able to access previously logged in accounts for a very very long time even after moving across the globe.

And what the fuck do mean by “makeshift DNA”? Unless you meant makeshift 2fa which is still confusing as a term.
