All this two-part authentication crap has made a mess of everything. I used to be able to manage my dad's finances, pay his bills, file his tax return, review his accounts for fraud. Not anymore! Thanks to all this crappy authentication I'm constantly locked out. Now some sites are asking for video authentication so even having my phone number as the contact number won't work.
I'M SO SICK OF THIS #$%^&!!!
I pay all the bills, but the one correct phone number they have is my husband's, and they send the authentication code to him. If he doesn't notice the text, the number expires and we have to go through it all over again.
You can thank the scumbags that are stealing and scamming for the difficult access. Thank God it is there, most of us would be financially wiped out if they didn't stay ahead of the criminals.
