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).

At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).
Are you 100% certain they don't just truncate your password to 8 characters?
I've seen a website that silently truncated my password during a password reset, but then wouldn't truncate it during login. It took me a while to figure out why my password never worked.
Name & shame please
I hate this so much!
My bank is like that and another horrible thing is that after you choose your password (which can be long and complex) you need to choose a 6 DIGIT restore code incase you forgot your password...
Why is is my BANK so bad at security??
And they all develop their own shitty app for 2FA (the lazy ones just rebrand SecureGo as their own - you still have to install all of them separately) instead of using the 15 year old TOTP standard. The latter is good enough for tiny companies like Google and Amazon but what do they know about itsec, right?
Magisk plus DenyList luckily works for my banks. Couldn't imagine not having a rooted phone.
Non-rooted phones are just like iPhones. Ewww...
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
which only pixel phones provide (at least in terms of mainstream phones)
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.
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.
Just higher standards.
Nah they've been accused of biases.
I moved to a bank that allows non google phones and let my previous bank know why I left.
Why are you licensing your comments
Because they think it matters. Same as people posting on Facebook some legalese saying "Facebook doesn't have the rights to my stuff.". They think that by slapping a copyright "claim" on their stuff that they supercede the agreements of the platform and somehow protect their comments from being scrapped by bots/advertisers, etc. All it really does is add a little "this guy is probably a sovereign citizen type" sign to every post they make.
