Not sure how to handle this....

Venmo has been hacked more than once. I don’t trust it and only use Zelle though BOA and they will require you to use two factor authorization.

I use exactly the same thing: only Zelle through BOA with 2FA. So maybe we're both screwed. LOL

I’ve been enabling 2FA on a lot of sites in the last few weeks, starting with anything to do with my finances. And yeah, it does become a bit of a pain when you’re trying to quickly login somewhere.

Yes. And lock your phone with a password (or fingerprint or facial recognition or whatever for secondary protection) just in case it gets lost or lifted off of your person.

Also, I never tell a site to "remember this device" when using 2FA even if it is my home computer.

No recourse? That seems strange. I thought that banks were responsible for safeguarding digital transactions. If you know how it happened, would you mind sharing the gory details?

Sadly, the 'crew' at our local J P Morgan CHASE Bank are a bunch of numbskulls so I just took that $6K as a LOSS when I filed my federal/state tax returns. Problem solved. They did however make good on a bunch of fraudulent charges on our business credit card so all wasn't lost.
