Looks like 2 factor authentication might have been broken since 2014 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Broken by New & Simple Attack !

The two, Radhesh Krishnan Konoth and Victor van der Even, said they've discovered the flaw back in 2014, alerted Google and other online services, and even presented their findings to a series of banks, but to no avail.
