Banking apps will be catastrophe in the future. Petition your bank, you want to use PC web app with certificate authentication.

If they don't support it -> notify them and change bank. Enough people doing this, something will change.

Good luck with that. Of all the things people don't really care about, I think that might be at the far end of the list.

Certification authentication is neat technology in principle, I use it internally, but in my experience anyone who recognizes it also hates it passionately. It's the thing that seemingly stops working every time their taxes are due, courtesy of terrible government software.

If I started telling people that they should be demanding certificate authentication from their banks, they'd probably think that I escaped an asylum.
