many banks require use of the app, regardless
And desktop mode doesn't help?
i need to app for proprietary 2fa.
Ah. That'll do it.
In the EU you have to verify your identity every time you log into your bank. You either need a physical token or you can use a mobile app to verify it's really you
No, you don't. That's your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.
If you don't have a smart phone, how are you going to use a mobile website?
Why do I need to use a mobile website? I guess the comment I replied to was meaning they require their app for mobile banking vs browser which I should have realized
The comment is deleted now but it said something like "I'll tell the bank I don't have a smart phone so I can't use the app" implying this would force the bank to allow them to use a mobile website.
What I misunderstood was what the bank required an app for, in my very sick and sleep deprived mind I thought they were saying banks required you to install their app to get service from that bank in any form which I thought was absurd, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Ohhhh, I see. Yeah, that is not the case anywhere I know of. Also, I hope you feel better soon tocopherol
