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.
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.
Unfortunately it doesn't really work that way where I'm from.
Typically, the website says "please confirm authorisation on your mobile phone".
Not all banks. Many provide a scanner for the user.
