 * Hi there
 * I have looked and can’t find any reference to SMS OTP – so I am assuming it’s
   not yet available? is it likely to be available anytime soon?
 * My site users are older generation and less likely to use Authy / Authenticator
   etc, so was hoping to use an SMS based option.

 * Hi,
 * Security authorities all recommend against using SMS for security, since SIM 
   swap attacks are easy to achieve and regularly carried out in the real world,
   e.g. [https://alpinesecurity.com/blog/why-sms-authentication-isnt-safe-anymore/](https://alpinesecurity.com/blog/why-sms-authentication-isnt-safe-anymore/).
   Hence the plug-in does not support them.

 * I’m not wanting it for fort Knox. It’s more for verification and to prevent wp
   user password sharing.
 * So yes I think it’s safe for my use case. But since it’s not provided by your
   product, I’ll shop around. Thanks.
