Huh. I wonder if the author had seen this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q00OZ_Xk24w which describes a similar story and recommends a solution based on the same factors (2FA on a number no one knows under a fake name).

But anyway I don't understand why he thinks it's some kind of shocker that this makes it less secure. It's another access method. Recovery options are obviously attack vectors.
