LOL "No need for ... client software..." ... Uses ... built-in support directly into the browser".

So when did a browser stop being "client software" ?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good advertising claim eh?

Around the time Netscape relegated Windows to a bunch of device drivers?


I do understand what they're saying, though. My bank also uses 2FA. You can type a challenge into a dongle, but you can also hook up the dongle. However, it needs a USB driver to work. Every OS update, it's uncertain whether it still works. I don't use it anymore because of that reason.

This stuff built into the browser makes it easier.
