I recently read a Kevin Mitnick book from a few years back. At the time, he recommended buying a cheap Chromebook, locking it up at home, and use it for banking - and ONLY banking. Never anything else.
Do you actually have to open the banking app? Or is it one of those TOTP codes? Because if it’s a TOTP code, you can use any password manager, including keypass xc on Linux.
It’s likely that the smaller the bank is, the less likely it is to be doing this. So maybe a local bank over a national bank or maybe an older bank that’s been around for a lot longer instead of a neo bank.
When I switched banks, I went from a NeoBank to a bank that has been established for quite a while because it has older technology.
can’t, without 2fa from the banking app on my phone.

Nowadays, a person could do that with a phone.

yes, i do hate it.

If they force you to use the app, switch banks.
no totp code. i’m forced to use banking app 2fa.
i don’t know of a single bank that isn’t doing this over here, i would switch in a heartbeat.

i’m now wondering if its possible to extract the totp code somehow hmmm…
