Had to call tech support, was not getting returned 2MFA texts with codes.
Tech support admitted that they are now starting to see carriers blocking texts that they deem spam, or dangerous. . so my 2MFA code text message was blocked at the carrier as the technician pulled up the text message on his end and it reported that the carrier received the text appropriately

The insurance sales rep had no idea what i was talking about, as all calls get routed to account sales reps, .. . and the auto attendant can;t process anything that is not an account issue. .

just a new twist to world of technology. .
I use the two factor verification, but I opt for a phone call instead of a text. Both Vanguard and Fidelity offer the options to receive a phone call or a text.
