The current authorization methods are an app or a hardware token (more secure). So customers can choose which method to use and they may also add multiple app IDs or hardware tokens to one account.

Android updates (or the lack of them when the manufacturer wants to stop supporting devices) are a serious problem for providing digital access to critical services. Using a device for 2FA that depends on the manufacturer to authorize updates to be able to patch security flaws might not be the best decision that banks have taken…

It is quite annoying that, being android based on Linux, mobile phones limit the user from changing their operating system so much without authorization from their manufacturers

I run "Pixel Experience" on my Xiaomi RedMi Note 7, and it's transformed it into a phone which is actually DECENT. Still, it's not iOS, but for Android it's nice.
