To everyone pushing for a different 2FA method - what if I lose the 2FA device? Would it mean I won't be able to get into my bank account anymore? If not, then the method I could use to get my account back in that case could be the method that will be attacked..
If employees can be bribed, that's the problem.. there must be a human element somewhere, otherwise we'd have to be permanently locked out if we lose all 2FA devices
- lxgr 3y agoWhat if you lose (access to) your phone number? If your bank doesn't have a plan for that, I'd strongly consider switching banks. If they do, you'd just use that.
- ryandrake 3y agoI would wonder what the bank's plan for that is. If your bank can be "talked out of" requiring the second factor, then what good is 2FA? Hopefully they would at least require actual identification.
