My bank and my phone service have both been trying me to agree to voice verification for years. I always tell them no, and they always ask again the next time.

Wait, wait, what the fuck?
Are they using a voice ID system over a fucking phone system?
A phone system that reduces the quality of sound transmitted over it?
Thus reducing entropy to verify?
I have been using tokens to access my bank for almost twenty years, a mobile app token for almost a decade, why are they reinventing the wheel?
Stop being stupid!

I know, right? Every time I call my bank they try to automatically enroll me in the service and I have to opt-out. Its more nonsense info to give to the bank and if anything if makes my account less secure.

A security system is only as secure as it’s weakest point.
Here in Sweden we have BankID to access banks and government services.
To logon you either need to launch BankID on the same device as the browser/app, or you get a QR code to scan with the app.
Once you are in the app and have scanned the QR code, you authenticate the login attempt and get logged in.
In the past the service worked slightly differently, you would enter your personal number on the webpage/app and a login prompt would appear in your BankID app.
That was quickly exploited by scammers, who scammed elderly people out of their savings.
