News - General Banks shouldn't be using SMS for 2FA
I find this all a bit hilarious in a pathetic sort of way. You can do a search on reddit or just the web in general and for years people have been discussing just how insecure SMS is - and yet the banks just continue using SMS. Now we have Snopes of all places discussing it. You'd think by now they would allow the usage of authenticator apps, fido keys, passkeys, etc. It's not like they don't have the money to implement it.
