minus-squareMwalimulink5•2 years agoAha. Never thought of landlines that accept text messages (some MFAs require a text setup) but if this was to work, it would be a practical solution to this cellular leash.
minus-squareSpaceCowboylinkfedilink5•2 years agoThis was exactly my thought as well, but I think some MFA can call you instead of texting, no?
minus-square@panic@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilink3•2 years agoThere are hardware keys for 2fa. I know there’s one called YubiKey and you can use it for OTPs.
minus-squareMwalimulink2•2 years agoThe issue is largely the authentication source – a bank may not support hardware keys, even when you have one, insisting on SMS.
