Bank account requiring Google play account, how to bypass ?
(sh.itjust.works)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Nobody should be using a bank which requires a mobile app in the first place. iOS is proprietary closed-source software and FOSS Android-based OSs likely won't work because of the the SafetyNet lockdown.
We do not currently have decent privacy on mobile, period. If you can't do everything on the web, change bank.
BTW I did just this myself. Opened a Revolut account and then closed it after discovering that the web app was not fully functional. Here in Europe at least, I believe Revolut is exceptional in its obnoxious attitude to user privacy.
And to be clear, make sure you can do everything on a web site. Not a Chrome site.
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.
And? Its the only hardware that let's you relock the bootloader with a custom OS. Blame other hardware manufactures for not supporting that feature.
De-Google your life by purchasing Google hardware! What could possibly go wrong?
