Use a web browser. If your bank doesn't allow you to use a web browser, switch fucking banks.
I heard some banks in Europe force an MFA through the app
Edit: op mentioned that as well in the comments
That's crazy. I would just get a really cheap secondary device then and leave it powered off most of the time, only for banking.
I wonder if you insist enough they'll hook you up with one of those MFA code generators devices
none of the handful of banks here will let me do that without a phone through 2fa. all of them are adopting face scans too.
I'd get a super cheap second phone then just for banking and leave it turned off most of the time.
I have less than a "super cheap second phone" in my account
that's been my MO. old broken phone is for the bank.
