you have to have the banks app to do online banking even on your desktop

I have never heard of that. Can you give an example?

    HSBC business. There is no fob. You have to get a code from their app to login online. That app refused to run on LineageOS with MicroG, regardless of the boxing and lying to it I tried. It does work under GrapheneOS with boxed Google services.

    That sounds obnoxious they don't support the usual MFA platforms

    And at the same time there's Fidelity (and others) using voice authentication as the sole verification of account ownership when calling in (I think they finally fixed this a couple years ago)

    It's pretty rubbish. I was under pressure from a few angles to compromise more with Google. GrapheneOS is were I am. But I want to be on a prober Linux. But it's just not possible without competition law being enforced. It's political problem not technical.
