- nextos 2y agoYeah, also rogue phone shops are a weak link in the chain and often get bribed to clone SIM cards. EU banking laws recommend against phone numbers as 2FA, but most banks fail to comply. Code cards and card readers were a much better 2FA. Phone numbers are a step backwards.
- HenryBemis 2y agoI've traveled to quite a few, and I'm always asked for passport (even if it's for a pay-as-you-go) while being there even for as little as for a couple of days. I'm a white male, so it's not racism. Perhaps they skip the ID check on some cases, but don't they need a copy for documentation/first issuance?
