Great to see another Korean here! :-) > I would say it was quite pioneer in 1999 but since then the gov don't even dare to replace the crypto policies. Now we are stuck at this in 2020. AFAIK, the government removed the SEED-only policy some time ago (in the early 2010s) but it’s the price of the system infrastructure that makes them keep using the old, ActiveX based systems. I’m personally thankful for smartphone’s to come, as the banks started to consider implementing support for other operating systems. If it wasn’t the abundance of smartphones, I believe there might have not been any non-windows/IE support. Its much better nowadays, with multiple startups in the finance space like Toss, Kakao, etc...

Don't you fear running into the trap that instead of IE/ActiveX you end up with only support for Android and IOS¹? That's not quite as bad of course, but it's still limiting in terms of software freedom. 1: Or, more probable, support for modern web browsers on any OS, but with (2FA) authentication handled through proprietary and required Android or IOS apps.

That’s actually a pretty accurate explanation of currently what’s happening, but it’s much better than before as macOS/Linux support is also coming too. > That's not quite as bad of course, but it's still limiting in terms of software freedom. I’m not the person who hates programs that aren’t open source or “free”, so for me just being able to tell my friends to use macOS or Linux is a pretty great progression.

    I'm not as much bothered by the software being non-free, rather making the ownership of either an Android or IOS smartphone a requirement for digital citizenship too solve the 2FA puzzle is something that worries me. We're moving in that direction in the Netherlands with our national citizen's accounts (DigiD: mandatory if you want to file taxes, gain access to your health care records, or handle your insurance digitally).
