I went to sign into my insurance companies site this morning.
They're REQUIRING MFA. That alone pisses me off but OK, I'll add the option to get a call or text.
NOPE
The options are "Device Biometrics/Passkey" or "Authenticator App".
I'm old, my devices are old and I don't play with any of this new crap.
I call the ins co.
They said my devices are too old (Win 7, old android phone) to use most of these options (but I could probably install an authenticator app which I DON'T want to do).
I asked why the change and so stringent. They said it's because some States require this now and they only have one site so now everyone has to do this. On further probing, she told me it was because NEW YORK now requires this. Friggin nanny state is now dictating how multi-state companies have to do their logins and inconveniencing everyone.
Who in hell wants into my auto insurance site to pay my bill????
