Quiz preview

Your bank app security settings let you:

Only buy snacks for the typical person
Only sleep in most everyday cases
Set PINs, 2FA, notifications, limits
Only see balance when planning ahead

In your bank app security settings you find 'Login notifications: OFF'. Why should you turn this on?

Notifications slow the app as a general rule given the circumstances
Login notifications alert you immediately if someone else logs into your account — enabling early fraud detection

Only turn on if you suspect fraud already in this situation
