In Sweden you now require hardware identity verification which can only be issued by a bank or similar authority. (It also work similar to Venmo but without the fees) It's odd that Canada don't have this?

I'd love love love if government Id card could be used as U2F via NFC. Also, in Lithuania (and many other countries) 2FA is hardware locked to your SIM card - can't really get new one without showing your Id in a shop (the shop doesn't really use the chip on Id tho).

  > the shop doesn't really use the chip on Id tho Same for SIM swapping here in Sweden, they check your ID very superficially

    It varies between operators and it's been much stricter since the scams a few years ago.

Until about a year ago Canada’s 3rd largest bank (Scotiabank) had case insensitive passwords.

  I think that was BMO? Passwords could only be 6 characters, and mapped to numbers. So only 1m passwords max.

    It could have been both, I know it was Scotiabank for sure, because that's who I bank with. Atleast Scotiabank didn't limit it to 6 characters.

BankID is really nice, I think when I move back to Aus I will feel like I've gone back in time. I don't know about Canada but I feel like if you tried to implement this in Australia there'd be a lot of paranoia over a system like BankID with regards to privacy or gatekeeping
