Browser is great until it tells you that you need to use a mobile device.

This happens all the time on multiple KYC platforms in the US.

My laptop is an equally mobile device, they just don't recognize that.

you have an example where you are forced to use a mobile device? genuinely interested cause while I have a smartphone I don’t have hardly any “apps” on it (on my iphone all the “apps” are on the first “page” (without grouping). I do not like the idea of losing a phone and potentially someone getting access to my entire digital life (my phone password is 6 zeros) and I genuinely do not use phone for anything important

HMRC in the UK / multiple Government Portals. Have you been to India (Air tickets)? Or China (Wechat/Alipay QR codes or you go hungry)? And see my example above regarding US woman at Hilton in Rome.

My employer's background check app required it. Multiple financial institutions' KYC required it.

So far, I have only found this with T-Mobile's app.

The good news is that I can go into the nearby T-Mobile store and have them deal with it.

I would immediately change my mobile service provider, this is an easy one and choices are plenty. financially as well, you can save yourself a lot of money if you have a cadence for switching providers
