NIST has been saying since 2016 not to use SMS for MFA. It's always been horribly insecure.
The problem for me is that most Canadian Banks give you the choice of SMS or their shitty adware filled bank app that relies on Google Play Services and wont implement TOTP so I can use a true MFA app. And Im done with being forced to accept user policies I don't agree with to do shit, and most of all done with Google Play Services on my device 😑
Even Bank of America doesn't support MFA apps.
why bank when you can dank
