Most banks in the UK have given out hardware 2fa devices for years. I have one for my company accounts that's activated with its own PIN that gives out logon and authorisation codes.

Is this not true in the US?

They are often now replaced by banking apps that offer a similar feature, as my consumer account with the same bank has done.

When it comes to banks, if it makes life easy for the customer, it’s probably not true in the US.

We still don’t have chip and PIN, and we most certainly don’t have TOTP 2FA.
