The account management interfaces of Canadian banks are pretty universally terrible. Even the neo-banks like Tangerine.
- jszymborski 2y agoTangerine still insists on making login credentials your account number, and a 4 digit pin. There used to be a second system where they'd show you a secret combination of images after login and you'd provide an answer to one of four security questions, which kinda made things better as I just provided passwords as the answer to the questions, but now they've replaced that with drumroll SMS 2FA. Security is a clown show at Tangerine, I no longer use it and can't suggest other folks do.
- dlenski 2y agoIndeed. Their 2FA manages to hit the sweet spot of being incredibly laggy, never remembering me, and maximally insecure. > I no longer use it and can't suggest other folks do. Same. I was lured in by their interest rate bonuses a couple years ago, but they're no longer offering anything that isn't beat by WealthSimple and others.
