As if SMS was secure.

Your phone company will believe any random person to be you.

Not all factors are secure.

I dont think my yubikey receives SMS

Yubikeys are secure, but the most popular second factor is SMS, followed by authenticators, which are better than SMS in my opinion.

MFA does not imply bulletproof security.

Well since this discussion is in a thread about 1password I think it's worth pointing out that 1password doesn't even support SMS as an MFA option [1].

1Password does not use SMS for 2FA.
