This, and the inventor of the leaf blower, are reasons enough that I might be convinced that there is a hell.

When I moved from the UK back to NZ, I discovered that my mobile phone provider had dropped roaming service to NZ. I hadn’t bothered checking, as the phone had worked in NZ without any problems the last time I visited.
Thanks for not letting me know Tesco!
As a result, I lost access to a couple of accounts that used two factor authentication. Very annoying.

We're being sold a bill of goods. Not actual goods; just a bill.
PS: there is no hell other than the one(s) the assholes among us create for the rest of us.

I have a solution that works. I refuse to use any program that demands 2 factor Id.
there is always a web program that does the same thing.
according to ARS TeCHNIA 2 factor ID has already been hacked and may leave the phone vulnerable also.

I'm with you. I'm upstairs on my computer and they want to text an authorization number to my phone which is downstairs in my coat pocket. Whose idea was it that I have to prove to a computer than I'm human?

I'm with you on this one. I get into my e-mail and they want to send an authentication code to my damned cell phone. Apparently a hacker could be in my e-mail but never in my cell phone. It pisses me off and I just find a way around it. The most money in everything is on a cell phone.
Here's the second big thing that irks me. I was paying my taxes online this morning which means I am using my credit card. Oh, watch out now. The captcha comes up now coz I have to prove I am human. Yeah, right. A group of robots are going around paying your taxes.
@DenoPenno Ain't that Amurika!!! 
@DenoPenno Isn't it amazing that "bots" can read and write , but cannot put a tick in a box to verify you are human??
A.I can write whole books write its' own code , and reports. but not put a tick in the box??? How moronic to believe that verification is bullshit.
My mobile service provider reguires 2 factor identification after signing in to their app if you need to see anything apart from their initial page
. I refuse to play the game,
I ring them in person. they tried to say I still need to verify my ID. I countered that they have my mobile number and they can see i am logged in . After a few spats, I do not need 2 factor id and I now talk to something that claims it is human. No proof , they have not 2 factor proven that they are human nor have they ticked a box saying they are human.
@vocaloldfart My Yahoo e-mail does that and my way out is to click to verify 2 way verification, then I see my e-mail up at the top right hand corner and simply click it and go there. That opens my e-mail page and I just close the verification page. I was told by a computer IT guy that they are going to stop allowing this but so far it still works. If I ever complain and get real people on this issue they pretend they do not know what I am talking about.
