Anyone else having issues with QR-Code bullshit this tax year? (lemmygrad.ml)

So, basically last year I used Turbotax. This year I am using my banks financial service for taxes. I am both not allowed to access last years transcript because I need a QR code to sign into my account because it uses a phone number I don't have anymore. OR the same thing applies with my banks financial service because they both use ID.ME.

Has anyone had this issue? Is there straight up a service I can use that bypasses asking for last years transcript? Only other option I have is a local tax-man parasite.

I hate this sort of thing. My recommendation to maybe get around it is to use an app like SecScanQR (open source android app on fdroid app store) which allows you to scan a code and see/copy the text without immediately opening the link. Then at least you could copy it to your computer or another phone or something and paste it into your web browser and go from there.

Or if I misunderstood the nature of the problem, aside from the rant which I totally agree with, please disregard
