Banks will do all this bullshit because "security" then turn around and force you to use SMS for 2FA and a six digit number only password
Exactly. They'll secure their app so deeply they might as well install rootkits onto your phone...
But for your data they'll secure it with a crappy password policy, and over-a-decade out-of-date 2FA system.
The priority is so wrong its stupid. Securing the app instead of the actual fucking data.
Its all about shifting liability to the customer. If something goes wrong they can find a reason why it was the customer's fault.
