I am so incredibly annoyed by the stupid "Big Five" #banks in #Canada forcing broken phone or SMS-based #2FA upon everybody. It just plain doesn't work. Let alone the fact that it's insecure compared to standard #TOTP.
I've had at least two different financial institutions try to pull this crap on my parents, and each time, I have to call them to ask to turn off that shite because they're unable to send codes, or the codes they send are always invalid.

in reply to Jeff Fortin T. (風の庭園のNekohayo) • • •"we are looking at new technology and adopt it when relevant". The answer I got a decade ago when asking for TOTP instead of the moronic security questions.
Instead they force enrolled me into SMS without consent. And it doesn't work when I'm abroad which is the case that triggers it.
