Banking apps seem to be a motif among things that don't play well with privacy ROMs. My bank's website does everything I could want out of it. I think I might be ignorant to something.

  • What about banking apps is especially compelling?
  • How often do banks put must-have features behind an app?
  • And should I be concerned that banks might move away from offering services through browsers?

2FA must be done through the damn app. It's TOTP (six digit) but locked behind god knows what. I asked for alternatives and they looked me like I was a caveman.

That would tempt me to dump a backup with adb and rifle through the app data to find the seed

When they give you that QR code for the 2FA app, print it out and file it away. That is the seed.
