    Can’t use mobile payment for one, then apps with integrity checks often block me. Might be highly related to the fact that I downloaded from Aurora instead of P Store, but yea I’m pretty sure some other are blocked as well.

    I have a Google account in another country than the one I’m living in and a lot of apps are not accessible this way for example… might be my fault as well, I know

    I heard bank apps are often an issue. I didn’t test it personally

      My government 2FA can’t work on those OSs. Could get a physical device that shows the code, but that’s nowhere near as practical. Without that 2FA I can’t pay online, check mail from the government, login to my bank, move my adress, change my phone plan. Everything is set up through the 2FA, which is convenient as fuck, and super safe, but requires either Apple or Android.

          Why would it be dystopian? Governments provide services and financial aids that also require security and safe authentication of ID. Actually, identity rights protection is the main thing governments provide.

            Well, if it’s for something related to your government ID then okay, but you made it sound like you had to use their thing on a lot of services

            Like requiring something provided by the government for paying online is wild

              “People shop for groceries online with government vouchers”. Doesn’t sound wild to me at all. It is the most basic possible social security program in the 21st century. There’s a difference between government way is the only way, and government offers a way for those who can’t otherwise access basic human need. 2FA and MFA is basic security, without any context it is not any more or less dystopian than a bank, a phone carrier or Google providing MFA.

                Wtf? Health care is the most basic social security.

                “People shop for groceries online with government vouchers”

                You never mentionned this. But still, it makes you so much traceable. Doesn’t feel really good, being said like that.

          It’s a pretty good system, if it’s any interrest it’s in Denmark.
