After a recent forced update, I can no longer login to my bank account, the app brings up google play and expects me to login to gplay for what ever reason,I am not logged into that cancer on my phone, so now I am fuming and don't want to be forced to make a google account on the phone. (by the way I have been using aurora to avoid gplay)

I am hoping someone has a some trick or app to bypass this ? I have talked to the bank but there is nothing they can do for just one weird customer !

Everything is going to shit in this dystopian technocracy

GrapheneOS is both secure and private. It also supports hardware based attestation (No need for SafetyNet). It's just that mediocre people who develop these apps do not wish to support freedom respecting platforms.

Absolutely. There remains the small issue that Graphene only works on devices made by a certain purveyor of mass-surveillance spyware.

And? Its the only hardware that let's you relock the bootloader with a custom OS. Blame other hardware manufactures for not supporting that feature.

De-Google your life by purchasing Google hardware! What could possibly go wrong?
