Is there any specific use case for the app that you don't get with the mobile website?

I've figured out that my bank's app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.

Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.

I have several bank accounts and at least here they all use their dedicated app for mandatory 2fa - Bastards..

And yes, literally: don't want to use our app? Don't get an account with us!

Everything in Sweden is authenticated through the same app 'BankID'. We even have our passports in there.

Not saying that I'm jealous or anything but.... I am. Please insert here a personal insult that would offend you adequately!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
