you know, here in ZA (and across Africa) services got past the “your phone number is your security layer” thing in the early 10s because we had fraud and related issues way back

but no, the US is insistent that they have to retread that path and learn those lessons over. can’t go and learn from an african country, that wouldn’t be fitting of ~~an imperial hellhole~~ A First World Country

why no, I’m not salty about services making me have worse security settings at all, why do you ask…

Yeah security in the USA has always been pretty bad. Iirc it often had to do with monopoly like structures keeping the advances at bay because it costs money to upgrade. Did the bank cards move away from magnetic strips already?

they ever so very slowly started doing chip (not necessarily with PIN) from 4~6y ago, state depending

probably need to give them another decade.
