Ah, now I get it, thanks for clarifying.
Well, this could be solved by sending a notification on all transactions. I already get these for my credit card account (I wish they did this on my checking account, too). When paying with Google Pay, I even get three notifications. This was very useful once, when I woke up to a $50 transaction to the XBox store that I supposedly did while sleeping without even owning an XBox.
- mindslight 3y agoPragmatically you might be able to find a setting for your bank that lets you notify you of transactions over $X, and then set X to $0.01 or $1.00. Abstractly my larger point is that security isn't a monolithic scalar but rather depends on the threat model and what is being secured. Far too often large entities push out features in the name of "security", but what they really mean is their own security at the expense of yours (eg the TSA). A lot of these pushes (eg SMS 2FA) are like that, especially when made mandatory rather than consensual.
