I now have a different kind of account that allows me to log into a couple different systems. Our problem is they want to send a text message, but our cell coverage is so poor here that I have to go stand out on the drive way to receive texts. There is an option to do a phone call, but we have a VOIP system, and that also won't work (for one of the 2 systems). We have a similar problem trying to use Venmo, you have to be able to receive a text message.

Some people live in the country and don't have cell coverage. Some people don't have smart phones. It is getting more and more difficult, but at the same time, there is more and more fraud and people trying to steal our money.

So in the end, I accept it. Try to keep good records. If I have to run outside, then back inside to the computer, so be it.
