Then we have different systems. How do you prove that you are you online in Finland? Do you use usernames+passwords or some 2FA ID system?

True. I was more talking about “banking apps” being more than seeing the balance of my accounts in a web browser instead of using their app. BankID is used for much more than that.
It’s poorly worded, but a plausible interpretation is “The play integrity you’re talking about can go fuck itself.”
Different countries have different systems. In Sweden, our “banking app” is not really for doing bank tasks, it’s everywhere in society as a 2FA app. Buying a bus ticket, booking a medical appointment, paying bills, logging in to various government and non-government web sites, signing a contract, etc. They all use the banking 2FA app. It’s really really difficult to have a normal life without this app.
I see this all the time, but isn’t mitochondria plural? One mitochondrion, two mitochondria, or did my teachers lie?

If I remember right sweden lost a tiny colony because the guy who ran it just sold it without being authorized to do so and ran off with the money.


That’s actually very similar to what we have, minus the option to change to a different bank, since all our banks are using the same 2FA app and there’s not really any other options or at least not better options. This is a very bad system, building our society on a proprietary app from a private company, but… that’s where we are unfortunately. Actually, recently our government has realized this and is developing a neutral state controlled 2FA app, but it will only run under android and iOS, so… yeah.
