I'm lucky my banking app works (GrapheneOS), as it's now requiring 2FA with the app anytime I login on the browser. Can't use an actually secure form like TOTP. At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

thats fair. device support is a major downside of GOS. but, remember: its not really the fault of the OS, as it requires a lockable/unlockable bootloader, which only pixel phones provide (at least in terms of mainstream phones). blame the OEMs like samsung

There are a ton of unlockable bootloaders. On my OnePlus that's a matter of flipping a switch in the settings.

can it be re-locked? i may be wrong, btw. this is just what ive heard.

[-] viking@infosec.pub 0 points 8 months ago

I don't know, never tried that.

That's the main issue really, as it open the possibility to manage your device for anyone getting hold of it. Probably some debug attack methods also with it.

Mainstream phones? Pixel is a smaller market share than Motorola, and Motorola has unlockable bootloaders, and lineage supports a fair number of them.

I thought Google owned Motorola, but I missed the sale to Lenovo ten years ago.

Sadly, can't be re-locked. Would have loved to get a Motorola if it was.
