Increasingly more services are moving away from SMS 2FA for security reasons. App based authentication tokens are the more secure wYhy to process multifactor authentication. You would need at the very least, a smart device capable of installing an authenticator so you can continue to use banks and sign into email providers that require it (most business emails). There are ways to do this without a smart phone but it will only make your life more complex.
哈哈哈. You can go months in China without seeing a RMB, like 90% of businesses only accept Alipay, Wechat, and Unionpay.
The level of enshittification of wechat and alipay is suprisingly low for now, but most Chinese phones are getting harder to flash a custom rom on, presumably to stop resellers from flashing global firmware and reselling in more expensive countries.
Nah, these time based 2fa codes can be stored on an extremely basic device that doesn't need an internet connection. It would just need a clock set roughly accurately
And they can be synced by atomic clock signals (whoever emits them in my area)
For banking there still are these tan generator devices that use optical sensors that read a flashing image that is displayed on the screen of your online banking software. This doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Who in their right mind would prefer sms 2FA???
At least prefer hardware passkeys or something but not sms...
