I absolutely hate that government and bank apps are only available on the Play Store. You are legally required to have a Google account and accept their ToS to use them. I am aware of Aurora, but some banking apps check their origin and refuse to run if not downloaded from the Play Store.

Then I need to approve in app with secondary PIN aka "mobile password" in my bank terminology. Operations on both desktop and within app require that secondary PIN; transactions up to a specified limit do not but mobile payments done with temporary 6-digit codes need a confirm
