Are you being asked for Venmo/Paypal MFA every single time?

I'm aware Simplifi has no control over banks who require MFA to sign-in but does anyone else experience needing to enter a code every.single.time? I swear it didn't use to be this frequent but as of late it's driving me crazy. I ended up deleting these accounts and may have to delete Simplifi

    I have one institution, that started requiring MFA every single time a few months ago after several months of not needing it.  I called them to see what happened but couldn’t get a satisfactory answer.  All others are fine.

    Hello @CoreyBarger,

    Thanks for posting your inquiry to the Community!

    That is correct that Simplifi has no control over the MFA requests that are made by your various banks, as these are made by the banks directly. The only thing I can really think of is that Venmo has increased its security. You may consider reviewing your MFA requirements with Venmo directly to see if you can lower them, or possibly contacting them to see if anything can be done from their end. 

    Sorry for not having a better answer, but I hope this helps!
