Bank security measures can vary significantly, leading to confusion among customers. While text and email codes provide an additional layer of protection, they are not foolproof against scams. Cybersecurity experts recommend using stronger authentication methods when available to enhance account security.
- ▪Text and email codes are better than having only a password.
- ▪Scammers can steal codes or take control of a phone number through SIM swap scams.
- ▪Two-factor authentication adds an extra step to the login process, improving account security.
