The problem for me is that most Canadian Banks give you the choice of SMS or their shitty adware filled bank app that relies on Google Play Services and wont implement TOTP so I can use a true MFA app. And Im done with being forced to accept user policies I don't agree with to do shit, and most of all done with Google Play Services on my device

I don't think so. It was on three seperate computers. I also used two FIDO keys, both identical. Maybe they're of poor quality, so it could be that. Any recommendations on a reliable FIDO key?
