I tried the fantastic DroidVNC-NG (KUDOS to the author) app because I wanted to see if I could stream a whole Android phone left at home at all times.

The idea was attempting to switch to PostmarketOS, so if I ever needed to use a banking app I could do it through this phone via a VNC client. You can't.

Banking apps black the login screen. Even if that is ok for 99.9% of users, I know what I'm doing and I do not absolutely have the fucking choice to disable that. The thing I found out is that every time I come up with something that should be doable, either Android or the fucking app or something else prevents me from moving away.

My biggest drag is banking because almost everything else I can leave it out. And I believe I don't have a choice.

I see the banking complaint all the time, but most banks provide a web site too. Is it really such a chore to use the site rather than the app?

Mine no longer allows website login without phone 2FA. Considering finding a new bank.
