So you might start to enter a number only to have it change before you
are done. Other 2FA authenticator apps I've used give you an
indication (such as

onto sending a code via SMS (which is not super secure[1]).

Yep! SMS messages can also be easily spoofed. It's just not secure by
design.

With the new Apple version there's a bug logging into my bank however. Hopefully gets resolved - otherwise I have to copy paste the password.

Turns out that if I leave the "remember this card" option checked, then
it will enter the password when I touch the fingreprint reader. With
the option checked on, the card number is partially obscured.

But if I clear the "remember this card" option, then it will fill the
card number and password one time; but not the password on successive
login attempts - only the card number.

Quite strange.

Anyway, leaving the "Remember this card" option on.
