Some of that stuff, like what if I don't have a phone accessible, I've argued with some financial companies. One game me a special "work around" that I had to agree to (i.e., take on some risk). The other, fortunately, manages to recognize my primary machines and only calls now and then.

But a new degree of idiocy has appeared! I wanted to add a bank account (actually, change the account number since I changed them all some years ago when I lost a data-filled jump-drive). Well, the only way to authenticate oneself to them is by giving them your cell phone and them checking the identity of the account owner. My Elephant | [mastadon] ing phone is on an account with my daughter/son-in-law as part of a group plan. So, it always fails. They don't seem to care. (I will vote with my money),

As implied in one of my tag-lines, the idiots just keep evolving.
