| The 2FA code you need to get from the phone app to log in on a desktop. It isn't 2005 any more. |

| Apparently I live in 2005 then? I do 2FA with the same chip+pin method that I use to pay in the store. Works in any browser |

Getting doctors appointments. Mortgage. Union. National retirement savings account. Some of these may have some alternative left, but far too many you will be left out. Well, I can buy a train ticket without it, so I could still leave. | | |
| ▲ | epihelix 22 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Do you mean to say that all these services require strong device integrity to function in Sweden?? In Australia, no local app that I'm aware of (banking, finance, government, medical) requires any form of device integrity - otherwise I couldn't use them. The only exception I've encountered is Google Wallet. I wonder why there would be such a difference in policy between countries, not only in government but across the private sector? This doesn't make any sense to me. If anything, I'd expect Sweden to have a more sensible, left wing attitude than Oz. |

| Highly location dependent. This is more true in Europe than in America. |

| Right, 2FA. My bank wants me to log in to my phone app and then sends an SMS to the same phone to confirm the app transaction. It's super-secure. |
