 That's true. Seeing as you don't use 2FA an attacker only needs access to
your email account to screw you over.
 

    OK. I'm not going to try to explain this to you a 4th
time. You clearly can't conceive of any way of doing
things other than your cellphone lifestyle, so you don't
understand the simple facts I've explained. Good luck.
   This raises some interesting existential questions. For
instance, in 40 years, when there's no human contact
except through cellphones, what will we bury when someone
dies -- the corpse or the cellphone? Will people buy a
Galaxy Mega 117 with their savings, just so they can look
good at their own funeral? Will people like me, with a $40
TracFone, have a closed casket, so as not to traumatize
my loved ones? Lots of details to work out... On the bright
side, at the current rate of screen shrinkage, my funeral will
probably be remote viewing only, on a 1/2" screen, so I can
probably substitute a picture of a GM117 and no one
will know. After all, reality will have gone fully virtual by
then, anyway... Now where's my cellphone? I want to install
a clapper app, in case it falls between the sofa cushions
and I can't find it. :)
