Can we please add SMS verification to our accounts?

And don't try to say it wouldn't, or shouldn't, cost anything...

They probably could save money on it as most of their account retrievals could be handled by an automated service instead of having customer service reps review files.

Let's use your scenario though:

Someone steals my phone, they want to now steal my mogstation account linked to my phone.

-They would have to know my password to unlock the phone/a print of my thumb if I'm a newer device.
-They would have to know my email linked to my mog station account.
-They would have to do all this before I can get to my wireless provider and have them disactivate the SIM card and transfer it to a new device.

Much tighter security.

Exactly, a stolen phone you can just call your phone company and they usually block it right away, on your new terminal you can still get the same sms, instead of going with a GM and start the long chore process of verification.

I never had to jump through this many hoops to play ME3 multiplayer on the PS3.

I vote no.

To be fair, ME3 multiplayer isn't really like an MMO, where you are nearly building an alternate life. Much more to lose in an MMO.
