That day was years ago. Many banking apps refuse to start if you even just have your bootloader unlocked, and some banking websites only support Chrome, some really crappy ones even only Chrome or Edge on Windows specifically.
Chrome? You mean Internet Explorer.
“This website is only supported on Internet Explorer 6.”
Spoof you UA to get on it.
That is already the case on Android phones with unlocked bootloader. Banking apps (in my experience) will either completely not work or only with limited functionality when run on a unlocked phone.
Unlocked bootloader should be fine. Now rooted android is a whole different beast...
Trust me, it is not fine.
I have at least one app that disables major functions when Developer Mode is active in my stock android, even with a locked bootloader and without root.
Til then, stuff works on my phone/lineageos but i thought they only checked for root because then things can go haywire and become unsafe then.
It is mostly payment options that are affected from it, for example the Zettle App by PayPal
It’s all fun and games until Google moves unknown sources to the developer tab
Nice. Id instantly stop using those apps. But it looks like it just checks if dev settings are enabled. You can disable them again after unlocking bootloader you know :D
Oh the app completely doesn't load on a unlocked bootloader, this is on a locked bootloader system where I just activated Developer Mode to show the message of the app. I know that I can deactivate it again 😜
Unfortunately I don't have a system with unlocked bootloader right now to show the message that comes up then.
Unfortunately I have to use the app to be a able to take card payments for my business.
A fair enough. That sucks major balls
Why the F can't I just use my Yubikey to log into my bank account.
Time for FOSS banking
Honestly I've been trying to figure out how to convince more people in my credit union why FOSS matters.
