> So really the ideal is not just having an app that generates a token but one that generates a specific type of token depending on what type of transaction you're performing and won't accept, for example, a login token when adding a new payee. I haven't seen any bank with that level of 2fa yet, has anyone else?
Some banks in India have a separate “transaction password” that’s required to operate on the account vs just login and view balances. It’s not a rotating token, but it’s somewhat close to what you’re suggesting.
I use my own domain for all email, but as I age, something that has started to concern me is the longevity of email going to my domain. No-one in my family is very tech-savvy so it's entirely possible they don't know to renew my domain and will end up losing all my incoming email as a result. In this sort of scenario, a big provider like Gmail which will clearly outlast me seems more reliable to pass on this account. Has anyone formulated a plan for someone inheriting your email account?
That's precisely what happens with SIMs in India. When a SIM swap happens, text messages are blocked for 24 hours to allow a customer to alert the operator before one time codes resume sending to the new SIM
I think it is just a transition period until they can get rid of models with the switch in their lineup. Since the action button is now configurable, it could soon turn back into just focus modes as the configurable way to silence your phone
I'm very excited for this. Does anyone remember the Sony Vaio P series of laptops that had this capability? You had to insert those huge cellular adapters. It was such a dream of portability well ahead of its time.
While I agree about the awkwardness of the phone, I’ve found my Apple Watch to be extremely convenient as a way to pay. Simply double click the side button without needing to look and tap it on the reader. Doesn’t get easier than that. And like someone else said, it makes having many payment options available without fattening your wallet. Costco for example, only takes Mastercards in canada and I don’t use the master card anywhere else
I last tried it in January and I was on the latest of everything - OSes, apps. I said this to the poster above but the straw on the camel’s back for me was when I realized hitting the edit button took me to the wrong entry and that I have unintentionally overwritten a bunch of unrelated passwords on the iOS app. Re: sync, I ran into some issues syncing between the safari extension and the iOS apps that resulted in some sort of reconciliation issue. I was already downgraded by that point though and not in the mood to investigate.
