Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.
It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.
Can’t you just use the bank website instead of an app?
No. All of the fucking banks make their own shitty app for 2FA, no way around it, at least in Europe. They are buggy, bad UX and less secure than simple TOTP but have their own dev departments to employ. I hate them with a passion.
Thats unfortunate ☹️ both of my banks provide a PWA, one provided a hardware 2FA device once I went in and told them my device is rooted
This is what we do in my house. Pretty easy.
The website unfortunately doesn’t offer the same user experience as the app, some functions are more “hidden” or behind more dialogue compared to the app
It’s incredibly impractical. The website requires me to go through 2 different 2fas on top of the username/password. If I used it 1/2 times a month, fine. But I use it far too often for it to be usable without the app honestly. Plus, my VPN is pretty much always on on my desktop. And my bank really, really doesn’t enjoy that and I regularly get locked out and have to make a phone call to get unlocked. On the phone with the app, it’s not an issue.
So until that’s solved (proably won’t be, it’s not their fault), that’s a no for me.
some banks only have apps
Yikes. I’d change banks
I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand about “require”. 😭
What bank do you use that doesn’t have a website?
