But the phone number you have is not 100% in your control. I had AT&T flub something and I lost my number and they assigned me a new one (I was chanting my plan just after they did some merging with someone). Granted its unlikely but I would still use defense in depth and not have password reset be my only login method.

Thats totally fair and really scary since so many services think 2fa means texting or calling a phone number (my bank for example)
