The article starts with this description of 2FA:

> an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism.

and concludes with (emphasis mine):

> For the average user, the smartphone has become a single point of failure, where the theft of one device and one piece of knowledge (the passcode) can lead to total financial compromise.

Looks like 2FA to me, not 1FA.
