Bank account requiring Google play account, how to bypass ?
-
"my concern about leaving my abusive partner is what if after all the hassle the next one pulls the same act ? and the next one !"
There are many banks and (better yet) credit unions. Not all of them are awful. Be brave. Take action.
-
My bank app entirely disabled itself because they "detected" that I use a modified OS. I only use web since then.
-
There not much options here first old project twoji which android container basically or graphenos(voltageos which have same features as granhenos but for many other phones ) which make in container google apps
-
If you can’t do everything on the web, change bank.
And to be clear, make sure you can do everything on a web site. Not a Chrome site.
-
Yes, warn us who to avoid.
-
Change banks.
-
This is the answer.
-
Buy a cheap second hand phone just for those apps and leave it at home.... That way if you lose your phone you are not locked out
-
Making a work profile using Insular or something? Or maybe create a different user?
I believe you can still access internet-banking, without the need for an app?
-
very hard to degoogle your phone/life. sounds like youre willing to put some work in...

No power to influence it is incorrect. You do not have the power to change it. However, if you leave, you are a data point. If lots of people leave, they are also data points. Data influences decisions at most companies. This statement does not imply the data is read correctly, nor that the decisions made in light of the interpretation of the data are the best ones.
-
And make sure they know exactly why you left
-
Maybe switch to the web version?
-
GrapheneOS is both secure and private. It also supports hardware based attestation (No need for SafetyNet). It's just that mediocre people who develop these apps do not wish to support freedom respecting platforms.
-
Absolutely. There remains the small issue that Graphene only works on devices made by a certain purveyor of mass-surveillance spyware.
-
De-Google your life by purchasing Google hardware! What could possibly go wrong?
-
My bank did the same... except not really. A bunch of functions still opens in the browser, but you can only get to them via the app, not directly using just the browser.
Another option for you would just be "buy a secondhand cheap phone for banking and nothing else"
-
That's insane. And it seems perhaps like an ugly case of integration gone wrong. Are you able to Use the website and add a bookmark to the website onto your phone's home screen or something?
That might bypass any app-based logins.
-
Either use the website if it's possible or switch banks. Those are about your only two options.
