Re: The whole thing is a worsening nightmare

Genuine question - I've had a lot of prompts to prove it's me when buying online, which you expect but I've never had to approve a transaction made in person yet. Is it something that is common now?

I have previously used MS Authenticator on a phone without a SIM in it, just a WiFi connection. Happy to stand corrected though, as that was a while ago now.

I do know that my Barclays app used to shit itself on dual-SIM phones so I can well believe MS Authenticator IS tied into the SIM now.
