What the title says. Before you had to choose either SMS / call via phone or a very clunky code grid.

    Ah, I hadn’t heard of the SSL issue, thanks for sharing!

    I’ve noticed that Tangerine only allows for a 6 digit pin, but I think they might also allow for a security question and SMS 2FA? I started signing up with them and gave up when they required a Canadian cell number (I hadn’t yet switched due to high costs, but recently they’ve become surprisingly reasonable—ignoring roaming) and I saw the 6 digit pin password requirement.

    I think it was also BMO that a friend told me required a maximum 8 character password until very recently?

    Anyway overall, thanks for reassuring my suspicion: I should just pick one of the banks and not let “perfect” (or even “decent”) be the enemy of “almost adequate but not great”.

      Also, for what it’s worth, TD is not just the only bank I know of, but the only website I know of that allows for a user-generated username to be used for login. My TD username was generated by the password generator of my password manager :)

      So they don’t get it all wrong.
