How easy is it to fake a signature for a normal person who has not practiced a person’s signature for the intent purpose of faking it? Have you ever tried faking your parents signature to get out of school? I have.
Now the infrastructure required to adequately check signatures is not practical hence it doesn’t exist. It’s why we moved to pins. Pins are small and 2fa doesn’t exist for banks because again it’s about the bare minimum and they are out to make money and don’t care about customers plus there’s government safeguards in place specific to banking.
I will continue to argue that going back in time signatures are infinitely more secure than a 4 digit pin let alone tap but we have traded security for convenience.

Yeah. I’ve been able to do it since I was 10. It’s really easy. I can also fake my husband’s and siblings’. It’s also a pain in the ass to change your signature. So if someone learns to copy it (like say based on the signature that was literally required to be on the card), it’s much hard to change it compared to a pin (which should definitely not be written on the card).

Anyways full admit that I’m batshit crazy.
