I don't carry a cell phone. A text is not very useful. Even if I did use a cell phone, I would not want to have it with me so that I could login. I hope they come up with a better solution.

This thread is now in the Personal Consumer Issues forum (computer security).

The article A Two-Step Plan to Stop Hackers discusses multifactor authentication and steps taken by various financial institutions to upgrade their login security. Vanguard is among them.

There is an on-going similar thread: Tell Vanguard they need 2 factor authentication

Update: The referenced thread has been locked.
