I'm lucky my banking app works (GrapheneOS), as it's now requiring 2FA with the app anytime I login on the browser. Can't use an actually secure form like TOTP. At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Magisk plus DenyList luckily works for my banks. Couldn't imagine not having a rooted phone.
Beat the main purpose of GrapheneOS. Open the phone to a broad lot of security issues.
GrapheneOS is made by diva developers who frankly should not be trusted. "We only allow Google phones to run our OS!" as if they don't have a backroom deal with Google.
genuinely curious; can u elaborate on the deal with google?
Pure wild speculation if I'm honest, however I'd be more surprised if I was completely wrong. It's always seemed sketchy the way Google have basically said "Use our phone, it's more secure!" with their Nexus and Pixel phones - this was long after the time Google stopped not being evil. At best, the security problems have simply changed manufacturer. Also, Google have a history of undermining development of circumvention, eg hiring the developer of MicroG and forcing him to stop development as a term in his contract.
The diva part is widely known, GrapheneOS developers don't play nice with the rest of the custom development community. So, while I can't substantiate any actual deal between them and Google, it's the perfect recipe.
i see. i bought my phone second hand, so google isnt getting money from the sale, but i can see the problem with every user relying on the same phone manufacturer
