misunderstanding of 2FA annoys me.

Like, banking site requiring phone's 2FA (whether actual or SMS), okay, you have to know password and access to the device or at least a SIM card so 2 things need to be compromised. Computer vulnerable, no problem, phone vulerable, no problem, both need to be vulnerable to defeat it

...then someone decided to put banking on the second factor and now phone has both password and token (or access to SMS) to make a transaction, so whole system is one exploit away from defeat.
