I just got an email from my credit union that they're "transitioning from email passcode delivery to more secure methods such as phone calls and text messages". I need to send them this video.

That credit union is awful for many other reasons, so I don't keep much in that account, but I wonder why banking in the US is so bad at security. I don't think I have a single bank or credit card online account that allows for TOTP. It's all SMS or phone call, with one bank allowing for app push notifications.

Is there a compliance check box that requires SMS over something with at least some security?
