We are all familiar with the security codes based on SMS text messages used as a security feature by a large number of social networks. This is the feature that aims to verify your identity after you log in with a password by sending a text message to your phone with a code that you use to access the site.

How is it not safe. I thought the code is sent to the number you have supplied & cannot be reused?
