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...

For what conceivable reason would they make the users go on desktop, considering mobile is in the process of being fully locked down?

If anything, they'd eventually deny access from desktop, forcing everyone to login via the fully manages mobile devices without any user freedom.

Some banks are already getting there btw, as their preferred 2fa is a companion app... One small step away from making that the only option, effectively denying access to anyone without a locked down mobile device.

It's already that way in my country. The few banks that still have the web version only support it for their business clients, and it's only something like two or three banks. If you're a regular client, there's not a single bank left that you can still use without a smartphone (unless you're ready to visit a branch for every little thing — so pretty much daily).

>(unless you're ready to visit a branch for every little thing — so pretty much daily).

What are you doing that you need to use your banking app daily?

It seems like a once a month affair. Pay the bills, take some cash out of the account, and you're done. Online shopping just needs a credit card, no apps required.
