And as a Norwegian it boggles my mind that banks in the US only require username and password to access their bank. We have moved on to a authenticator living on a phone sim card, and you use either that or a "real" hardware dongle for all logins and (most) transactions to confirm your identity.



US banks do commonly use SMS messages as a second factor, for what it's worth.
