Is it though? No offence but the vast majority of "people" do not know authentication well enough to be given their choice of login method.
And when we entrust non-security vendors to implement their own authentication, you get situations like ServiceNSW encrypting and storing credentials with a 4 digit pin.
If a bank wants to use a security vendor to strengthen their authentication, that's better than the alternative, I'd prefer that to what I have experienced with one of the big 4 where they still use SMS.
