ID verification for phone numbers.

ALMOST every bank now forces you to have a phone application to authorize payments and each banks implements it in their own way, no standardized way like TOTP (RFC 6238) or Passkeys (WebAuthn), and sometimes those apps force you to use a verified phone (no custom ROM basically) because of security. So if you have no battery (or phone number, because some banks still send you codes trough SMS), you can't authorize transactions.

Most banks use 3rd party, non local AI companies to verify your identify with your face.

    Makes me curious if there is a per country list of banks that provide an option NOT to have that. I know that if my bank were to do force such limitations I'd consider moving to another one.
