So far, I have only found this with T-Mobile's app. The good news is that I can go into the nearby T-Mobile store and have them deal with it.

you have an example where you are forced to use a mobile device? genuinely interested cause while I have a smartphone I don’t have hardly any “apps” on it (on my iphone all the “apps” are on the first “page” (without grouping). I do not like the idea of losing a phone and potentially someone getting access to my entire digital life (my phone password is 6 zeros) and I genuinely do not use phone for anything important

  My employer's background check app required it. Multiple financial institutions' KYC required it.

  HMRC in the UK / multiple Government Portals. Have you been to India (Air tickets)? Or China (Wechat/Alipay QR codes or you go hungry)? And see my example above regarding US woman at Hilton in Rome.
