I’d like your expert advice. My old smartphone is about to kick the bucket, and I can’t wait to finally let go of the tiny depression rectangle for ever. How can I keep using OTP and 2FA services when on a dumb phone? I expect that with time I will manage to limit the use of services that require this kind of stuff, but can’t at the moment. I don’t use my smartphone for much, so I don’t expect to run into much trouble, but is there anything else I might be forgetting apart from authentication issues? I’ll speak to my bank to see what they offer besides 2FA and app - I’m sure they have something since it’s a bank for farmers and old rural folk.
Btw I have been enjoying my collapse lately, as so much over-engineered stuff just starts failing and encourages a retreat to more simple solutions. I’ll do my part by ditching the surveillance box.
I ditched my Mobilek years ago, still got a dumb phone around with the battery taken out, it only gets power when there is a need for it. Some banks offer QR code based 2fa using a dedicated scanning device, so no need for a smartphone there.
Live is more peacefull like this, going back to email, no checkmarks that i did read anyones message, no pressure to instant reply…feels good i hope u enjoy it too. People who truly care for u wont mind and just send u email, people who dont actually care for your…u probably lose contact but thats ok.
