I remember people saying this about Windows Phone. It’s a nice idea, but reality is that most banks will be happy to let the small percentage of users that make this request leave.
Due to regulatory restrictions (second factor must be bound to a certified hardware), I think all German banks use integrity checks for devices (SafetyNet/Play Integrity). Those will usually fail on rooted devices (unless you get lucky with magisk) or won’t work at all in the first place.
IMHO, german banking apps are really the end boss.
If not, change the bank (and tell them why). This is the sustainable way.
I don’t even use a banking app lmao
Yeah, mine has a hardware key thing for their security theater.

Not with EU data soveireignity.
How do I know if my bank allows that before I switch? Also, how many other apps might not work on the new system?
