Alta One is always working hard on how to make life for their app user more inconvenient, in the name of “security”. Their latest brilliant move, every time I’m trying to log into the app I get confronted with a choice of where to receive a verification code, then I have to open another app to retrieve the code, then go back to the Alta One app to enter it before being able to access the app. Well, I got news for the geniuses at Alta One sitting around pondering how to create more inane inconveniences to their customers. My passwords are different for every app or account, all random generated with letters, numbers and symbols I couldn’t recite a password from memory if my life depended on it. So someone randomly guessing one of my passwords would be beyond unlikely. The only way would be if a nefarious individual had physical access to my phone, and somehow was able to get past the biometric log in, or had the password to the phone, then again had the different password for the app or able to bypass the biometric log in to the app. At that point, what difference does the verification code make? A potential evil doer would immediately have access to the code arriving in a text, call or email. This B.S. doesn’t do anything for added security, it only creates multiple additional steps for me to use the app.
