Well this sucks, I am locked out of online banking..
Due to EU regulations online banking cannot use SMS or paper authentication methods anymore, requiring the use of "secure" mobile applications instead. 🤦♂️
So now you need an Android or iOS running mobile phone to do tasks that a simple web browser was capable of before.
The new "app" is quite the disaster, contains ads, introduces fees and sometimes doesn't even work at all.
What an improvement! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=caixaeconomica.approva
@falktx isn't there a bank that allows tou to use an old school FOB, TOTP or other methods? Relying on a mobile phone is ok as an option. Not ok to me if it is the only way.
@falktx yeah, that would solve a lot of issues. Even the old style fob, but i guess banks don't want to make those any more if they can just give you the software and let you use your own hardware. Meh
