I require my banking app to work.

I love that banks have tight requirements on where I can use their app, but I can visit their website from anywhere such as a public kiosk (not that you ever should!) and they're all come on in!

fully agree, it's ridiculous

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

How will that work exactly? Do you carry your TANs or secure token around all the time?

[–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

I use a hardware TAN generator which I could use with any browser. I use my banking app (which works on LineageOS so will presumably work on GrapheneOS) just to generate TAN for authentication. My banking cards support NFC.

no different than your banking app. most websites have a remember me option

Skill issue?

The day my Pixel 9 Pro XL came to my door, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Yet, somehow, all of my banking apps (Venmo, Fidelity NB, a national bank, and a local CU) still manage to work just fine.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on the bank. Hell, even McDonald's app tries to detect this.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Ugh, the fucking McD's app is such a pile of trash. I just now installed it to see if it got any better, and....nope. Still dogshit. No warnings about being rooted or bootloader unlocked though Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
