Are you Theodore Kaczynski ghost? :)

Seriously what job you do that allows you to not have a smartphone ?



Not OP: I have a smartphone for my own personal use but don't use it for work at all. If my employer wants me to use specific phone apps they can provide one for me like they do a laptop.


yeah so you got a smartphone, the dude was saying he doesn't have a smartphone.

no smartphone make it a real pain in the ass to do most things nowadays, job is one of the biggest but it's not the least. to even connect to my bank account on my computer i need a phone.


Cell phones exist which are not smartphones, and everyone who uses phones for 2FA is happy to send 2FA codes to a "dumb" phone. They only have your phone number, after all.


Well my bank doesn't give me the possibility to use SMS code. It's obligatory to use the app on a verified phone and put a pin.
