    Use yourbank.com from browser.

    If your bank does not allow you to use the web browser to manage your account, then that tells you you need to switch banks.

    My bank tried pulling shit like that with me and they lost a customer because of it.

    I want to knock people upside the head who use the excuse of their banking app because it seems more like an excuse to not do anything. Like, “oh, I’m so lazy. My freedom is not worth the amount of hard work I would have to do. I have no integrity.”

      Easier said than done, in my country there isn’t a single bank that hasn’t reinvented the wheel, all of them have a dedicated app to show the otp for the login

        Get yourself a cheap-ass Android phone and use that as a secondary device only when you need to use your bank. Otherwise, it can remain powered off at all times.

        Really? Most banks are multinational. They often have app code but alternatives such as the physical code generator, or SMS and OTP codes.

        I’m with 3 major banks, 2 with significant overseas presence and I’ve not yet once had to install an app
