A warning to those who use GoDaddy and 1&1 Ionos

This may have been shared on NP before, I don't know, but I came across this article about how easy it is for an attacker to hijack a GoDaddy account. The same applies to 1&1 Ionos who have awful security and customer service.

Is it so hard to enable 2FAuth with GoDaddy and 1and1 Ionos???

Regarding customer service at 1and1...
It is not awful... it is better than average or even good.
