My bank requires it, for better or for worse.

Any bank transfers are MFAd via the app, for example. It's the only bank that allows non-citizens in Germany that has English correspondence and wouldn't have taken months in Bureaucracy to open an account when I first moved.

What did people do before such apps?

    I chose the only bank that'd allow me to accept a paycheck in a reasonable amount of time after moving across the planet, yes.

    HSBC in the UK now blocks access to your accounts unless you use one of the allowed whitelisted keyboards.

      Nobody is claiming every single app works perfectly on alternative Android OSes, so pointing out exceptions isn't really advancing the discussion
