Unfortunately not. A lot of UK banks require using your mobile phone as the 2nd factor to log on to online banking on your laptop. They used to issue fobs/card readers, but have moved to using the app for this now.
Ah interesting. We're still on the email/sms 2FA
Some new fintech banks only truly support smartphones.
