    Eupean banking apps refuse to launch on unlocked phones. And you need said banking apps as mandatory 2fa to log into your online banking system.

    So in EU you gotta choose between banking and rooting.

      Don’t throw in all of europe into one pot. The banks in my country still sell separate PIN machines for 2FA, which work great.

        Didn’t work for me on a Samsung S6 or S10. Maybe I will try again some day but for now it’s not worth the risk of never being able to go back, thanks to the Samsung physical one-time fuse.

        My next phone should be a Pixel with Graphene…

        I only had to add it to Magisk’s exclusion list.

        Yeah you needed to install a program specifically to trick the banking app in to thinking it’s running on an unrooted device, because it otherwise won’t launch (because it’s rooted).

        I’ve used magisk before, and its a major PITA to use. Every time you update your phone you need to redo the whole process of setting up magisk again, which requires connecting it to your PC to and running commands in the terminal. Huge fucking PITA.

        Which is only available for a limited set of devices, does not have root, locks the bootloader again and is probably professional enough to get banks to approve their signing key. For those reasons it is nor a viable solution for everyone.
