  More like 2026 + 10, Linux phones are severely lagging behind, enough so that they are at least 10 years away from having enough adoption for banks and the like to recognize their existence, the annoying truth is that it cannot be mainstream until it is able to use these critical apps with no workarounds as “it works but isn’t allowed” will be the death knell of any amount of mainstream appeal.

    I’m so tired of hearing people cry about banking apps. If you’ve got a working web browser you’ll survive.

      Hiw do you deal with 2fa? For capital one in particular, I don’t believe there is an option not to use their app, and the other banks that I use are in the same boat or adamantly recommend to use their app.

    first of all, you can bank in a browser on a mobile phone just fine. second of all, don’t do your banking on your phone. that is a horrible idea and is one of the reasons mobile phone theft is so lucrative, because people are so obliging to keep their entire financial information downloaded to a single device.

        I don’t understand your question. Why would 2FA be a problem? Every password manager support supports it. I almost never use my mobile for 2FA, unless I’m away from my laptop. As for Capital One, you can log in using the website from any browser.

        Furthermore, since Linux phones run Linux, there’s nothing stopping you from running Android apps on Linux phones.

      It’s amazing how Americans love poking their nose into everyone else’s affairs yet can be so oblivious. For some people a phone is literally the only device they have, they can’t do anything else.

      The most common reason for mobile phone theft is to wipe it and sell it, or just dismantle it for parts.

      No common thief is going to be trying to break into an iPhone’s security system to get to someone’s banking data.

        They don’t need to break into it to steal your data if they swipe it out of your hand, which is usually how it happens.
