So that's it then.

If this actually goes through, there will be no option in the mobile OS market for an OS that both:

a) allows the installation of apps without any contractual relationship with any party, and

b) allows the use of mainstream and secure apps like banking

In time, you will only be able to access banking from your desktop using an approved OS and browser with attestation...

Actually my bank already requires me to use the phone app for any operation on the website. When I want to login from my laptop I need to use my phone with their app to approve the login, same for almost any operation.

Ah, and it can only be installed in one device at the same time :D Don't have your phone available? Bad luck for you

I have a huge problem with companies using their own apps for 2FA.

Google started doing this for Gmail. To use Gmail on my laptop, I need to approve it with Gmail on my phone. I never signed up for this. I’m now afraid if I delete the Gmail app from my phone that I’ll lose access to my email.

I hate the direction “security” is taking us. It’s done in the name of security, but it feels more like blackmail to get and keep the company app on your phone.

Is that a thing Google logins can be set to require? I _can_ use the Gmail app on a device for 2FA, I can also press "try another method" and use any 2FA app.
