I see a lot of people going back to the old www . bankwebsite . com.
Phone apps are just modern toolbars.
And in case you forgot that scourge:
I have 3 bank accounts and all require mobile apps. The Web Apps are limited in what they can do.
That really does suck, and is poor product design. Besides using the desktop site, I’m not really sure how to easily get around that.
It is a good design, especially security wise. Many banks require 2FA from their app/companion app.
That will mean that they’ll be able to sell more phones because people won’t be able to run the bank app on a older machine?
This will limit phones without longterm software support. The ones which don’t provide decent enough software support will be left in the dust.
Hopefully a small pain which will encourage better behaviour overall in the future. Hopefully.
You are mentioning a domino effect, but the main goal is beneficial in itself, increasing security. I hope people posting here are not using Windows XP in 2024, or have not updated their Linux packages since 2017.
Go search for how long companies take to patch a vulnerability. It is like 60 days for critical CVEs on average, 300 days overall.
can’t use app if you use custom rom to get updates
can’t use app if you don’t have updates
RIP Motorola
