TL;DR
- Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
- The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
- Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.
I’ve been tired of “modern” security doing nothing but annoy people. Recently, a Portuguese bank “innovated” by exclusively allowing login only on a mobile device. Yes, a clean web browser with 3FA is not “secure” enough, has to be done on a mobile device. Clearly, desktop PCs are too insecure to conduct transactions.
Therefore, because one does not trust their mobile device. One simply spun up a clean Pixel VM, shared my data with Google and just did their work there. Peak security.
They are steamrolling usability for elder people with that kind of security measures. I can’t understand how they can get away with this, those bastards.
Does the bank staff all work on mobiles?
Goddamn technology stealing black jobs
I would close my bank account if they did that and move my money to a better bank. I don’t do financial stuff on mobile phones.
Which one?
The one owned by the state.
You mean Aixa-cay Eral-jay de Epósitos-day?
Stockpile did this too. I quit them (i did not like them anyway but that was the last straw)
