> Making digital gov't websites as accessible as possible is an incredibly important
Indeed - websites are the most convenient way to access government services.
So it's important that government websites don't rely on technology that isn't universally available. So I wish gov.uk sites would stop insisting on a smartphone (or SMS) for 2FA. Phones have these problems:
* They cost a lot.
* It's impossible for the average user to check the 2FA app is secure.
* They run on batteries that go flat.
* they are not owned by their owners.
Please, always offer email as a 2FA choice.
