Do you do your #banking on a #phone Can you do it with #FreeSoftware? I did some research for the @fsfe and now published my results: https://lists.fsfe.org/pipermail/discussion/2024-February/013383.html What’s your experience here?

@cybertailor @floriansnow @fsfe And how do you handle authentication?
Show threadjan Anja();Feb 23, 2024
@floriansnow @fsfe mostly one-time SMS codes, while some banks allow to set a PIN code to their webapp

@cybertailor @floriansnow @fsfe And the PIN is then the only thing needed to do a transaction?

@floriansnow @fsfe transactions between my bank accounts don't need confirmation. Everything else — one-time SMS code

@cybertailor @floriansnow @fsfe That’s good to know! I’m curious how long the bank will support authentication via SMS because many banks discontinued that due to security concerns.

@floriansnow @fsfe two apps on the same phone also don't give much security, as you've noted
