Explain an old device is like an expired passport, still useful for identify theft, and they may understand better. Same as social hacking. "Someone might ask you weird question to impersonate you to do identity theft. Be careful what you tell to strangers over the phone. They're asking those questions to make it easier to essentially guess your password."

Yeah, and those dumb “your superhero name is your first pet and the city where you met your spouse” phishing schemes.

Authenticator apps are kind of annoying but a sim swap could render all of your passwords useless.
