It was a major exchange that did not understand what the 2 in "2FA" meant, yes.

Most exchanges did not have proper 2FA until the sim-swath-swoop of 2018-2020.

All major exchanges have supported TOTP (time codes) based 2FA since 2014. However it is a different matter if they force users to use TOTP, as it hinders adoption. Need to get that IPO done first.

I hate when companies ask for my phone number on sign up. At no point do I ever want that used for auth!

The first thing I usually do is enable OTP but I know some companies will still fallback to SMS.
