When Android stops working properly, I’ll move back to a dumb/feature phone. My wife will hate it, but so be it.
Some friends and I were talking about the feasibility of that earlier today.
It’s possible, assuming that you never need to use your phone as an MFA method, never need to scan a QR code, or never need to use an app for something because they lack a web version.
If my employer wants me to use MFA, they can provide me the device.
How about for any personal accounts?
My personal accounts do not use MFA of any kind and very few are tied to external accounts for any form of verification.
Lucky you can get away with that. My bank requires the app, without it you can’t even make transactions via the web UI because the 2FA is via their app. You can’t even order a new card or many times order a physical card via their web UI because they don’t bother sending you a physical thing anymore, intention being is that you add the card to Google pay for NFC and online payments and use it that way only. Everything is via the app. I actually have no idea what happens if I lose my phone, because as far as it has been made to appear my bank account is on my phone, there are no sign in details or anything of the sort, it’s either there or it isn’t.
If my bank ever changes to do that, I would immediately find a different bank. Then again, whenever it’s possible, I do business in cash.
