With the banks I use, the difference is: A) on mobile, use my face or 6-digit pin to get in. B) on web, go get my wallet where my ID is, hunt for the USB digital ID reader, grab a USB-C adapter, put everything together, and either confirm the certificate with a PIN I always forget or use the bank’s own calculator for a login code. Not exactly a fair setup for the web.

My bank supports Ubikeys for 2FA, but you cannot disable the SMS authentication. So you may as well use your phone.

Way more common than it should be.

So you're telling me / implying that sometimes people are sometimes promoted [1] or hired into positions that they are unsuited for?

Sure. The NSA exists, and it routinely violates the rights of the USA's own citizens, the ones that actually have constitutional rights. The idea that it would suddenly draw the line on foreigners is just absurd.

You can probably share specific evidence of NSA violating U.S. citizen rights. But can you share specific evidence if NSA spying on a five eyes nation or Israel post-Snowden?
