Why in the hell are government and bank logins literally the least secure logins I have??
My bank doesn't let you set an actual password, only a 6 digit pin, and the only 2FA available is SMS codes. I have better security on Lemmy than I do for my fuckin' financial institution!
Yea, they do seem to be some of the worst offenders
Because both industries use such horrible, outdated software and are riddled with so much bureaucracy that no good programmer would want to work there.
Sounds like a bit of a chicken & egg scenario to me.
