Yeah, a lot of banks still use SMS 2FA and even don't let you login/approve payment without SMS verification.

I wish. Mine just removed the SMS option. I now have to install an App that wants full telephony access. And is obviously only available in the google play store, requiring me to accept google terms.

Is it safe? I don't know. Doesn't seem to be a widely used standard. Haven't found technical details. Only a mention of "cryptography" in the marketing material. So yeah, I don't really feel much safer.

Give them the access to your Android-x86 VM first :)
