Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

My bank is inaccessible without a smartphone & there aren't alternatives I can move to, so until that changes am stuck with having one. Often consider getting a dumb phone for everything else I use a phone for (texts, alarm clock & ability to make emergency calls).
But as things stand I barely have enough use of any phone to warrant having two of the damn things.
oh wow that is wild about your bank. reminds me that some stuff at my work requires 2FA via app so idk how I'd get around that
I have some stuff at work that requires 2fa too. I have an old iphone with no SIM in it in my office, I use it for authentication and that's it :)
Yeah, like ostensibly there are alternatives to 2FA which do not rely on a phone, but they're not nearly so easy to set up, and there's potential for a lot of woe stemming from user error, even if your work stuff facilitates them. They're apparently more secure though, so maybe you can persuade your work to go offer the option on that basis?
