Apparently doesn’t mean secure.
Most likely, the bank is doing it wrong because of bad old policies and lack of security education in the security and risk groups. The well known online services use your number to tie to data broker feeds. Not sure about your government, but likely inertia and misinformation.

- Silhouette 5y agoThe question isn't whether it's secure. Complete security is a work of fiction anyway. The real question is whether it's significantly more secure. As of today, probably 3/4 or more of the online services I use that have serious security requirements are favouring SMS-based 2FA over just using ID and password as they used to. This can get a bit annoying, but it's obviously more secure than not doing it.
