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.

Graphene only works for Pixel phones, and I don't want a Google device.

thats fair. device support is a major downside of GOS. but, remember: its not really the fault of the OS, as it requires a lockable/unlockable bootloader, which only pixel phones provide (at least in terms of mainstream phones). blame the OEMs like samsung

Mainstream phones? Pixel is a smaller market share than Motorola, and Motorola has unlockable bootloaders, and lineage supports a fair number of them.

I thought Google owned Motorola, but I missed the sale to Lenovo ten years ago.

[–] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Lenovo owns Motorola. Lenovo being chinese is somewhat a security risk.

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.

Proove us that you can get better security while remaining able to be fully modified with other phones and brands. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#divestos

Privacy Guides has a bit of a sordid history of their own diva behaviour.

Nah they've been accused of biases.

Non-rooted phones are just like iPhones. Ewww...
