  • Users are reporting that T-Mobile has removed 2FA support for Google Authenticator.
  • There is no official statement from T-Mobile yet.

With hackers and scammers becoming much more sophisticated, our only option is to increase our security measures. This is why it’s odd to see T-Mobile removing support for an important security measure. Especially considering that all other companies are adding security features, not removing them.

Phone Arena has discovered a couple of Reddit threads that have surfaced (this one and this one), teeming with upset T-Mobile subscribers worried about their account security. It seems T-Mobile has removed support for Google Authenticator, leaving customers with SMS messages as their only option for 2FA.
