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?

That’s what I mean, we had a family computer way back then and YouTube assumed once and remembered its assumption forever. By “makeshift DNA” I mean a set-in-place identifier. I never said it was true two factor authentication if it didn’t text someone, I was asking if, when you choose to be texted, if it’s normal to assume the number chosen to be texted on is property of the person setting it up, versus, for example, a family member lending a number to use. I for one don’t even have a phone number right now.
