One of the only complaints I have, after using GoS for the past 2 phones, is that my bank requires Google's Play Integrity software to run on the phone, for the bank app to work. So, the bank sent me a physical pocketable scanner to use with the mobile web version. Works for now. Annoying additional bit of hardware kit to not forget home. Other than that, I love GOS.
Which bank is it that went out of their way to send a physical device. It should be celebrated I think. Mine just said good luck and use a different phone or website.
ING Bank, The Netherlands.
is this not something you could sandbox under another user?
Great question: I tried it last year, the app launched, asked my credentials, then just stalled out. No error, no progression timer or animation, just sat there. So in my case, even with a secondary account on my GOS phone, with the sole intention of getting my bank's app working: no.
