penguin42interesting; just had a new type of sms confirmation flow;  they display a number on the webpage, phone you and ask you to tap in that number on your phone, then do the normal sms where they send a number to you13:21
zxmpi so they already know your number, have to hope the web page isn't a spoof page?13:23
penguin42yeh so that was after logging in with id/password13:24
zxmpiand hope they haven't had all their users/passwords pinched in the last while :-)13:25
penguin42I'm trying to figure out how it helps; I mean it confirms that the person with the phone can see the contents of the screen13:28
zxmpijust feels like an extra level of complexity, just security theatre13:29
daftykinsstrange stuff!13:32
zxmpiat this stage i'd be on for a go your post office to pay/sign/confirm details option. 13:33
zxmpiwould keep post offices in business. get a few people off their arses. give everyone something new to complain about :-)13:34
daftykinshehe13:34
zxmpiand increase the chances of people paying ahead of you with a bucket of pennies getting bumped off :-P13:35
