Google your banks, big boy, and then call customer service, because while you claim none of them use 2FA, most of them would call you a liar. Maybe you have to activate it yourself, just like you did to protect your “NSYNC Gold” collection.

You strongly imply that I lied about my banks that support two factor security. . . and then state that you look this up by Googling it. You are the liar, Loonard. I stand by my statement. To put my accounts into a bank that uses two-factor authentication for account access I would be limited to just four of the banks listed:

Those are the only Banks on your list that offer Two-Factor authentication for on-line logon account security. I think you've been dissembling, if not out-right lying. You're at least completely misrepresenting the facts. Again.

My Bank of America accounts do have limited Two-Factor for on-line transactions, which I use. . . but not for gaining account access, which is exactly what I told you. None of my other banks even offer it. BofA, Wells Fargo, and Bank of the West use hardware Tokens, as does Apple, to identify the specific device from which you are making your connection. . . and if it is not one from which you have previously made a connection, you must answer security questions to proceed. Again, what I told you. Accurate information.

The BANKS are satisfied with the levels of security they are providing. Since it is THEY that are defrauded if my accounts are compromised and they allow someone to pillage my money, as they guarantee to make me whole when that happens, then who are YOU to criticize what they offer?

I assume that Tommy believes that nothing qualifies as 2FA unless it is precisely the form used by Apple. I’ll leave the definition of “classic” 2FA to you. Basic 2FA is simply something you know and something you have. While banks are under represented, that does not mean that they are not secure.

While Tommy was all 2FA for his music collection, he wasn’t interested in it for his bank. . .

. . . I do not trust Tommy with Apple facts. He prefers authoritative half-truths as I have documented in the past. In matters of financial security I would never suggest that anyone trust his “facts”.

Who the hell are you referring to as "Tommy," you ass. I have a Freep name, use it. This denigration of me by assigning alternate name is childish and pathetic.

The only person in these threads who behaves as a sociopath is you. I have said nothing about a non-existent "music collection, Loonard. You have "documented" nothing! Your anti-Apple derangement and your current Swordmaker animus are severe, Loonard. Your "facts" are seldom actually factual, and always easily refutable. Quit stalking me and making innuendos about my honesty and character. You desperately need help.

You misrepresent, then dance around, claiming other things are the same thing. How are you doing on proving Apple owns those factories in China, as you vehemently and idiotically claimed for months on end, despite all documented evidence to the contrary?

As I expected, Apple’s implementation of 2FA is more secure than your bank, even though you’re satisfied with the security provided by your bank, or banks, as you have so many...none of which has 2FA as impenetrable as Apple but you trust them to manage your money but not your record collection. Brilliant!

“How are you doing on proving Apple owns those factories in China...”

Apple factories in China spring up spontaneously without any input from Apple Inc., that’s what you were selling then, and after 2 months of additional research that has covered hundreds of articles, thousands of pages of corporate reports and contact with some of the writers and researchers associated with articles that you quoted and often misrepresented I have concluded that you’re a delusional Apple troll who attempts to pass off fake facts that even Apple wouldn’t dare repeat.
