All encryption is breakable. Guess it depend on the hacker objective. 2FA cover only a small part of the whole module or system, so....
If you can't open and walk through the front door, we can go around or through the windows. Possible??? Just a thought.

lolz.. agreed, hackers are also humans and they will think of other ways to crack it. Hai, then if that's the case, why go thru the trouble of setting up all these systesm when it's hackable?

You need deep understanding of how and the right complex mathematical algorithm formula, hashing etc. and the token unique key to work. Not to crack, but to become. Too much work and resources needed. Save some brain cells and money. Try something else.
