So, why do almost all banks, in the U.S. at least, only support the worst 2FA authentication method exclusively? And, this article doesn’t mention SIM-swap attacks, which are unavoidable. It can’t be that difficult to support an authenticator app.

I’ve filed about 7 complaints to the Ombudsman where I live for my bank. I refuse to use sms for verification. I blame the bank for limiting my access to my accounts as a result. I’ve spoken to hundreds of employees, for hours and hours, wasted in branch time for hours, spoken with managers, escalated numerous tickets.
I’ve probably wasted more of their time and money, then it would have been for them to just implement 2fa from an app rather than sms…
I’ve proven to them how insecure it is. Employees and managers tell me I’m paranoid for nothing.
I’m so sick of this fight with them. Literally have no idea what else to do other then constantly complain, open tickets hourly and literally waste their time, ruin their metrics and annoy the hell out of anyone that works at the bank. I won’t use sms for 2fa.
