The problem for me is that most Canadian Banks give you the choice of SMS or their shitty adware filled bank app that relies on Google Play Services and wont implement TOTP so I can use a true MFA app. And Im done with being forced to accept user policies I don't agree with to do shit, and most of all done with Google Play Services on my device 😑

Even Bank of America doesn't support MFA apps.

They support USB hardware tokens… but only for the website. Everything else is SMS which kinda defeats the point.

Annoyingly, other than Vanguard, they are the only financial institution to support USB FIDO tokens

in my experience, FIDO tokens suck. I have to around 10 times every time I use one to log in.
