Features & Capabilities

Commerzbank photoTAN is a security-focused Chrome extension that adds push and scan-based 2FA to online and mobile banking. Receive a push notification for a new order, review the details in the app, and approve with one click, or generate a TAN by scanning a graphic.

It also enables VideoIdent-based activation with a digital activation window and an SMS code, and includes strict device checks to protect against rooted/jailbroken devices and malicious apps. Consent is required for these security checks, and users can revoke consent by uninstalling the app; offline scanning supports quick offline TAN generation.

User Reviews

User reviews praise the app for speed, ease of use, and TAN security, with some noting it still works on older iOS devices. However, repeated issues with crashes on newer iPhones, iOS updates, unreliable camera TAN scanning, and restrictions like clipboard pasting, plus login failures and slow support dominate negative feedback. Overall reliability across devices and versions is inconsistent, and security-related concerns around the TAN process are raised.
Pros
  • Very fast and easy to use.
  • Works on older iOS devices/versions.
  • Strong security for TAN generation.
  • Can function without being online (offline TAN capability).
Cons
  • Crashes or fails to start on many devices and iOS versions, especially newer iPhone models (XS/Xs/XMax) and after updates.
  • Camera-based TAN scanning is unreliable (white screen, no feedback, multiple attempts).
  • Clipboard paste is disabled, making login/password entry less convenient.
  • Login/access problems and apps not functioning properly at times.
  • Customer support is slow or unhelpful.

It’s infuriating but the developers decided to turn off pasting from clipboard functionality. It’s 2022…just let me paste my password. It’s safer and easier.

There was a recent iPhone update that has made this app incompatible. I am unable to do any sort of online banking due to the issue. I was assured it would be resolved within hours, but it has been days and still does not work :-( The response was super fast and worked perfectly. Many thanks!!!!
