Blaming him instead of Amazon would make sense if Amazon allowed you to have an MFA backup, or recovery codes.



I use Authy to backup my MFA codes, this works fine for amazon.

When I switched providers and phone at the same time I used my billing address as well as my CC to confirm my change in billing address.

Ensuring I can proof who I am is my responsibility.


You are responsible to ensure your identity. Make sure you backup your 2FA codes.

You can try and shift the responsibility but why would they be responsible for your shit?
