[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1109926, member: 61892"] Usually you need to confirm login from a new device using an already verified device, just like 2FA on google. Some banks allow to disable SMS for verification and use the app instead. If you loose access to your phone, you can not login, you are locked out and you need to contact the bank. Thus it is required to have another verified device, like an old phone or a desktop. People backup their pictures of cats, but not their banking credentials. In case of a scam, you can restore access to your account in a few days, after it has been zeroed. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
