The nice thing about text is even if phone is lost you are able get a new phone and receive it.

Is it better to use to receive a code via text?

Or is it safer to receive said code via the Google authenticator app?

And I'm I correct in believing that an email would be the least secure of the three?

Thanks.

I use the text option where it is available and Google authenticator where the text doesn't work, I think the text option is the safest, but when it comes to hacking anything can be hacked but I still believe hacking someone's phone to steal a code would be really difficult. And yes, email would be the least secure option.
