I went back to requesting paper statements.
When you get an email with your statement you have to click on the button (or navigate to the website), put in username and password, wait for the text to arrive (because half of the banks I use don't support YubiKeys), navigate to the PDF, wait for that to load.
And then it's on my computer, a tool that is supposed to be there to make me more productive, but instead, Microsoft has elected to show me popups that I might want new TikTok templates.
Now, when I go get the mail, I walk there. I'm outside. Give my eyes some rest. No texts. Say hi to the neighbor. Stare angrily at the other neighbor who is using their leafblower on a high-smog day.
Walk back inside, open the mail. Look at the physical statement in my hands. No popups. No Slack calls appearing.
It all looks good? Great, shred and trash.
If it doesn't... well, then I'll need to sign in, wait for the text, and file a dispute. If I don't get distracted.
