Guys is it just for me or are Binance withdrawals without 2fa via google authenticator not possible anymore? I must admit I hate google authenticator and so far didnt set up 2fa on Binance. I know its silly, but I just prefer SMS authentication.
Yeah, it looks like 2FA is mandatory before withdrawing now.
SMS verification is worse security anyways. People had their accounts robbed on Kraken because they were using SMS verification instead of Google Auth:

Thanks for the quick answer. I didnt know that sms auth wasnt secure, actually I always thought that SMS authentication was the safest method, thanks for making me aware that its not. I guess now as I have downloaded google auth again I can just stick to it. However this is actually the case with me, I dislike to use google products if Im forced to, also thanks for showing me that there was a way around it. Good idea with the second smartphone for this purpose, guess Ill use my old one for it. Cheers mate!
