TOTP is theoretically safer than SMS verification, but for practical purposes,
it is more of a headache. I think the average granny is more likely to set SMS
auth than TOPT, and is she sets TOTP, she is more likely to lose her acess
tokens and suffer.

WHat is better nowadays is not what is "better". It is what is easier, and they
play with that.
