I really wish I wasn't so dependent on certain financial apps. How much happier I would be to just give Google the finger and switch to Lineage, Graphene, or something like that. Unfortunately, a lot of must-have apps for me to even be able to live in my country, practically speaking, are incompatible with anything other than official iOS and Android.

@Logical @throws_lemy can't u buy cheap 1+6t phone and install custom lineageos and use banking app? Or just use 2 phone's. One for only banking apps & personal stuff and other for social media or anything... Old blackberry for social call msg and everything. & old 1+6t (with lineageos) for banking apps

Why not get a bank pass for this kind of stuff, and do banking on websites if you need to?

Couldn't you get like the cheapest android phone just for these apps specifically? Or do people need to do banking stuff on the go?

This is something I am considering. Could even put it in a Faraday bag when I'm not using it.

Typically, the website says "please confirm authorisation on your mobile phone".

Not all banks. Many provide a scanner for the user.
