THAIPHUKET Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm simply concerned that the verifying token, email, whatever is not received in time. Example= ATM transaction, long line behind you. SMS takes forever. Or cash withdrawal aboard, no token because no connection to that country's email system.

Chicog Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 An ATM card that asks for a second factor? Never heard of that. Getting SMS notifications of ATM withdrawals - heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Only practical use that I have for two step/factor athorization is internet banking. Receiving SMS. More than 2 seconds makes me nervous Happens rarely. KBank, SMS alert (not quite the topic here): withdrawing money at ATM I sometimes receive SMS before the money drawer opens Internet banking login alert via email (Bangkok Bank, SCB, KBank): the website has just opened and hear the mail beep. Never a problem at all. 1 hour ago, THAIPHUKET said: Example= ATM transaction, long line behind you. SMS takes forever. This really needs explanation. I am also not aware which bank offers a two factor auth. for ATM. Only alerts as explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkerry Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 With online banking, I get a code displayed on my Digipass instantaneously. For G-mail, the verification code is received on my phone in a couple of seconds, no matter where I am in the world. There is also an option to pre-order codes for use when you don't have a local mobile number. The practical use being someone can not access your e-mail even if they have your regular password. They need the additional code or they are locked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIPHUKET Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Kerry, that is interesting! Your experiences with Gmail in particular. Had been wondering about SMS bottlenecks, not that Gmail responds promptly Edited December 21, 2016 by THAIPHUKET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 You can "two factor protect" most of the Cloud email providers (and you definitely should if you are a Yahoo user!). Your Banks may offer two-factor as well, either via an SMS/EMail PIN or a crypto device like kkerry's. There are even Payment cards that use that technology to generate a constantly changing CVV for online shopping. But I've still never heard of an ATM that asks you for anything other than a PIN (Cardless ATM transactions excepted of course, but my banks don't use that yet).
