    The method of two factor authentication used by Ring is obsolete and prone to hacking -- see this article (one of hundreds) highlighting Microsoft's alarm about this: [https://www.csbnews.net/technology/microsoft-warns-smartphone-twofactor-authentication-86646462 ](https://www.csbnews.net/technology/microsoft-warns-smartphone-twofactor-authentication-86646462 ) RING: please get your IT folks up to date asap and get with Authenticator apps, NOT two factor authentication via text!!

      Come on you guys. I just received an email from Ring instructing me to switch 2FA to receiv the authorization code text message. Subject: Important Reminder: Update Two-Step Verification to Text Message Right after Microsoft has begun pubically warning people to cease using this method of receiving an auth code! [https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-urges-users-to-stop-using-phone-based-multi-factor-authentication/](https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-urges-users-to-stop-using-phone-based-multi-factor-authentication/) Please get it together. This does not look good coming from a company supposedly providing security.

    Ring, I solely use my phone for access. Considering it uses biometric auth, can we end the 2 factor on the apps? I understand the computer access, but for phone apps with biometrics, it's pointless. Or let us use biometric sign in. This is not a welcome change...
