What's keeping me from doing this is that i won't be able to run my banking apps anymore then. And I can't be arsed to carry two phones

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

linux phones will never run banking apps either.

Perhaps there's this magic app called a "web-browser" I could introduce you to...

banking doesn't work on just web browsers anymore on most of the world's banks. i WISH.

Huh, they still work for all my banks here in the US. Not sure how you're supposed to access your bank account on your PC otherwise. Some banks you'll have to use the "use Desktop version of the site" option in a mobile browser to get it to work, but it will still work.

ah, two factor authentication is the issue then?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

yup. would be no issue if they didn't force their shitty proprietary app.

Huh, we still almost always have SMS as a validation method for 2FA here, so any SMS to web method works.
