Again, this comes down to cost and user acceptance of yet another tool they need to use. The company would need to build and maintain the app, the consumer would have to download it and store it somewhere. What they should do is offer a choice of authentication via code, text or landline. When I log onto my company's VPN we get that choice.

I have my Amex in Apple Pay and even transactions initiated outside of any Apple device get notified into Apple Pay. This is a great way of keeping track and I see no reason why there shouldn’t be an option to approve transactions in this way too.
Incedentally, I find it disturbing that the BA website still states that there have been no confirmed incidents of fraud after their “data theft”.
