Third party keyboards no longer accepted by HSBC's banking app.
In a recent update to the HSBC app they've added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.
They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you've happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).
I haven't found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm not sure about this app especially, but I hate that my bank personally has so many restrictions on the app usage but I can also just use a web browser on God knows what with who knows what extensions installed and they're all like sure, come on in!
They likely won't allow that forever. If Google has its way with the web, trusted browser environments will be a thing, and banks will only accept those.
were you also against cache attestation and manifest v3?
