@s0@cathode.church if it leads to fewer support calls, it's gotta be good

@s0@cathode.church This is MyGov levels of Can’t Computer. Edit: No, it isn't, because MyGov can at least do TOTP now.

@s0@cathode.church This seems like the logic where they realised 2FA is a lost cause for an average non-technical person and they try to pre-emptively solve all the login issue tickets by applying a fix like this.

@s0@cathode.church And if you still don't do anything, they'll give access to your account to 13 random people?

@s0@cathode.church Sadly I've seen worse. Had an account that wouldn't let me log in without e-mail verification, despite acknowledging I had two factor authentication, because it couldn't verify that the two factor authentication was secure. It's because they only "approved" of Google Auth and I used Ente Auth, so they treated my two factor auth as invalid.

@s0@cathode.church was 2fa optional? You know what.. I don't want to know, I'm not sure which answer is worse :cry_flork:

@s0@cathode.church I can't remember which bank it was, but i once couldn't change my online-banking password because changes to the profile were only allowed from 10:00 to 16:00

@s0@cathode.church @JoBlakely@mastodon.social bank-internal austerity theatre? "Look, we saved all those 2FA calls!" (that weren't being made, anyway) 😵💫 What?!

@JoBlakely@mastodon.social @deborahh@cosocial.ca not this one. It’s TOTP 2FA. Which they’re paying way too much to Symantec for

@xinit@mastodon.coffee 2026-05-17 16:09
@s0@cathode.church weird. Our approach was "enable 2FA or we disable your account"

@s0@cathode.church Ridiculous. I think 2FA may well reduce the number of times you use those features that require it - which is a positive development. It makes you think twice. So I would consider that a significant reduction in use is a positive. Removing it for any reason (without your say-so) is bonkers.

@hub@cosocial.ca 2026-05-17 19:36
@s0@cathode.church mine decided to send me 2FA SMS without even asking if the number was still valid.

@s0@cathode.church your bank doesnt enforce 2fa?
