Not for authentication. No idea if this is not a thing, but banks here in Germany all have their weird proprietary TOTP app that checks if your device is rooted or now even if it is a "Google certified OS".
You can use some weird hardware device instead with the obvious drawbacks.
My favorite thing is when banks don't allow passwords that have spaces in them or are more than 12 characters long.
Honestly there should be a standard of what security means, like how passwords are stored and how TOTP is implemented, and if a bank doesn't implement it then THEY are responsible for any "identity theft" that happens on their site, not the users.
Looking at you, fucking Paypal.
Or yes, my bank wanting only numbers not even letters.
Literally the only passwords I dont have in Firefox.
But don't support standards like WebAuthn or even FIDO 2.
