If my bank's app ever forces me to choose between my keyboard of preference and their app, it's their app that's getting uninstalled.
I think it's a great option to warn people about. Or even force switching of the keyboard for that one app. But it shouldn't require you to set a system sitting.
My back pops up with a warning but than just let's be carry on my way
The thing is, they're one of the biggest banks in the eastern hemisphere.
Be that as it may, apps must work for me and never the other way around.
Bingo. I will happily go out of my way to modify things, and if the methods provided to hide root/bootloader ststu from any particular app don't work, then that app gets uninstalled.
I might get a device dedicated to banking only if it comes to that
Don’t worry, you can just use your browser instead of their app
Have the security risks associated with third party keyboards been mitigated somehow? I made the decision not to use them years ago and have never revisited it.
Fist party keyboards have the exact same permissions. The code is hidden though and noone can audit it.
Of course there will always be some risk. But HeliBoard and some other keyboard apps are open source and can be audited. I'd trust (I know, you should do your own homework) the more popular ones have a lot of eyes in them.
As someone who doesn't have the time, skill, or knowledge to audit open source projects, I agree on the trusting more popular open source keyboards (and by extension popular open source projects in general).
Well then you'll need a good mattress to store your money because in the future, all banks would be doing it.
