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?

[–] GigglyBobble@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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
