Yes point taken but plenty of other people dont have issues with it. I dont see why its difficult for some and not others. Just saying and good luck.

I read recently that as from 14th Sep this year 2FA is going to be compulsory for all on line transactions, even simply buying something. One estimate is that on line retailers will lose £6billion because few retailers or consumers have ever heard of it. Hopefully common sense will intervene in the meantime - but common sense seems to be in short supply amongst the authorities at present.

Too right. I am hard of hearing so don't have a mobile as it is difficult to take calls in a noisy environment. Ticking the box so only phoned once a month is I think over-ridden when something is being sold at a discount.

Ticking the box so only phoned once a month is I think over-ridden when something is being sold at a discount. ISTM that solutions include either using Authy on your PC or getting a cheap PAYG mobile (Tesco sell one for £4.99 plus £10 first credit) for use purely when transacting on AC (plus others in future that require 2FA to transact). Don't think of it as a phone, just a handheld security unit

I've got a cheap Alcatel phone on the Tesco Pay-As-You-Go-Lite tariff, which I use only for receiving 2FA codes and my balance hasn't reduced since I bought the phone last year.
