Bank doesn’t allow use if connection is originating from VPN. It’s really stupid because passwords exist.
Oh yeah. Like I have my physical 2fa security key, verified 2fa phone number, and can verify from my email, but if I log onto vpn with all this information I am a bot user. Hate it. Fortunately, either my bank doesn't flag it or protonvpn is getting past it. But, I know plenty of websites and services like Geometry Dash flag my vpn.
I haven’t run into it at all. If my bank does this I’m moving elsewhere. I’m not going to to business with a bank that is that stupid.
Some banks out there don't even take physical hardware tokens so I'm happy my bank takes it.
Edit: Here is a website somebody made that shows which banks even have 2fa and what methods they support.
