    One question, though:

    Does setting up Cahoot on the Santander app alter the way that web logins work with Cahoot?

    Because with Santander, when you don't have the app or have not used it for a while, 2-factor authentication for web logins defaults to SMS. But when you do have the app and have used it recently, it gives priority to authorize the login on the app over SMS (which exists as a fallback option - you just have to click on 'Having Issues').

    Does Cahoot ever lead you to think you can authorize web logins with the app, when you've set the Santander app for Cahoot and have used it recently?

    No, it presents you with the usual web browser login and it sends an SMS.
