Markmonitor runs a registrar popular with fortune 500s that implements
additional security steps, and talking to a clued in live human in the loop
to modify anything in your domain record.

Agreed. But this also gets down to the risk vs hassle tradeoff. Joe's
Bait & Tackle Shop probably isn't getting attacked by nation states who
can hack SS7, so SMS text might be good enough. And certainly better
than just an 8 char plain text password.

So what registries/registrars are supporting 2FA that's better than SMS?
Or since 98% of domain names are Bait&Tackle type, is nobody bothering
to support something for the 2% that could use it?

Or is there a business opportunity lurking here? :)
