Bank customer locked out, told to use authenticator app
Original: @ pluralistic I asked FD if they supported it and they said they did not and that I would have to use an authenticator.
A bank customer says that when they asked their bank, FD, whether it supported a particular security method, the bank said it did not and that they would have to use an authenticator app instead. The customer was reportedly locked out of their account in the process, and is criticising the bank's security practices, saying the claim that a method was insecure is itself worrying. Others in the discussion are sympathetic to the frustration with bank security and account access.
Why now: Frustration over bank security requirements and being locked out of an online account is resonating with others who have had similar experiences.

- @ pluralistic I asked FD if they supported it and they said they did not and that I would have to use an authenticator. They shouldn’t have locked you out of the account and their security is shit. Bunch of dumbass jobsworths. And to say it is not secure that alone worries me… · PragmaticOne@mastodonapp.uk · 4
