Please let me know how I should deal with my banking apps in the future. I used LineageOS and Magisk to convince SafetyNet that everything was as it should be.
Now I read that SafetyNet was depreciated and LineageOS would become a red flag for banking apps (in Germany).
What is the way forward?
How can I use up-to-date firmware (i am fine with using something besides LineageOS) and still use my banking app on my phone?

If you dont need to scan any checks, why not just use the website?
We don’t do checks here. I could use the website, but mobile is the authentication method for the website, besides it being a lot more convenient.
I for one just delete apps that stop working on my phone. The PhotoTAN apps usually work fine. But I do my online banking on my laptop so I don’t know about the other stuff.
I do too, but this isn’t a question for people like us. It’s a question for people who don’t have that option.
Hmmh. I mean I use a custom rom and Linux out of several reasons. But one of them is I want privacy and to stay in control. Often that requires some extra effort. Using PCs is quite alright for me. But the world of mobile apps is a bit more complicated. I’ve mostly worked around their crappy stuff by using workarounds like SafetyNet, third party apps and stuff. But it’s getting more and more complicated. I kinda stopped bothering. I don’t do NFC payments, I don’t rent electro scooters because all of that stuff doesn’t work. Nobody understands and I’ve complained to bank staff and it’s just not something they care about. We still have a separate working TAN device. But I had to listen to the lecture how good the banking app is for like 3 times. :'-(
I think one of the alternatives is to use something like this: https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix
If you really need an app. I think I’m going to weed out apps though and see if there are companies who offer better alternatives to their customers or alternative ways to access their services.
