They should work in a browser no?

Not for things like check deposits, unfortunately

@PabloSexcrowbar @anon_8675309 When my bank _doesn't_ allow check deposits via website, I will switch banks. Ain't installing a stupid app for a _bank_ of all things, and why would I bank from a device that I could accidentally lose at the grocery store?

Well, that's fine since it isn't 1982 anymore. Right?

Many banks require apps for 2FA. This varies greatly by country.

[–] cactus_head@programming.dev 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

There are open source 2FA. They require like specific apps OTP or something else?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You have to use the bank's own app to 2FA.

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

So you can use the website in your browser but still have the have their app installed for 2fa? That's peak bullshit there.

Google reCaptcha is going to have a similar requirement for accesing half the bloody internet once that goes through. In summary, I think we are fucked.
