  You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about; a real Dunning Kruger.

  There are many places where every bank uses SMS for 2FA…

    Relax homie don’t pop a blood vessel. I know it can be frustrating to realize you have to take some personal responsibility for your privacy.

    You don’t have to use a bank at all, you opt for a credit union or a host of other options.

      As someone who’s banked with a credit union before: we still just call it the bank and they have all the same issues normal banks do with shitty tech support

      If someone wants the ability to bank in person at all then it can be incredibly difficult if not impossible to find a bank that doesn’t have shit IT

      You get more freedom with online only banks (what I use now) but those also come with tradeoffs like cash being much more annoying to use

        I’m not saying its easy or convenient but users here love to complain about issues while being complicit. I just find that annoying.

      My credit union uses SMS for 2FA. What “host of other options are available”? Do tell. But GTFO if you are going to suggest paying my health insurance premium or rural grocery store in Monero or some nonsense like that.

        I don’t know your specific circumstance but I highly doubt you only have one option for a bank or credit union. Time to adult some shit and do your research. Complaining on Lemmy will only get you so far.
