Whatever websites choose to use this bullshit are websites I will no longer use. Soon someone will come up with a new internet and it will be like stepping back in time and I will welcome it.
I can see my bank using this technology and I've refused to install banking apps on my phone, so that would have me in a tough spot.
I thought about it and I'll bank elsewhere. There will be credit unions that at least act like they give a shit about you.
