Very much depends. Never lived in a place where driver license app is required, but many other apps are kinda essential, e.g. either you install banking app (and it approves your device) or walk by foot to nearest bank branch for every minor action. Some banks allow web access, many don't. Also something as simple as whatsapp requires a phone, you can't really communicate without it, and some countries use it almost exclusively.

- Rinzler89 2y agoI think some online-only banks like Revolut or N26 or Monzo are app exclusive.
- kuschku 2y agoN26 requires an app for some rare account management tasks, but you can still use it from the web.
- out_of_protocol 2y agoMany banks have Web UI, but very shitty one, with fraction of functionality and still asking confirmation SMS on every action (so you need a phone anyway)
- kuschku 2y ago> so you need a phone anyway Yes, that's the point of a second factor > but very shitty one, with fraction of functionality If I have to do high-risk or complex tasks, I want to do that on a real computer, not a toy.
