    This is what I fear will happen to GOS on Motos. Google decides to mark them as rooted so buh-bye banking apps and others that require a “secure” os.

        It doesn’t matter if they are or not. Google can deem them modified or not secure devices and they can do fuck all about it.

          The difference being that Motorola is a well established device manufacturer and not just a community project with minimal funding. Google using play integrity to exclude a competitor could be very easily seen as an abuse of market power and they already have problems with antitrust laws.

        They check through Google Play services, Graphene has play services in a sandbox, it can’t see enough to report the security of the device accurately

      All these banking apps need google play for the freaking 2 factor code sent via text to work.

      Why can’t I setup TOTP for these? Banks I am looking at you.

      Always has been.

      Banking on a phone is insecure, and this is one reason. Never use banking on mobile.

          How long is your password on your phone? How long is your password on your computer?

            Each banking app usually has a separate password you have to set and every transaction requires some form of authorisation.

            You could make an argument about security concerns in regards to biometric scanners in phones, but short passwords are a universal thing for people that dont care.
