Could you sandbox the banking app in the work profile with something like Shelter?
It's unfortunate for those that can't switch banks, but this would be a strong reason for making me want to switch. I'd rather skip the one mobile banking app than uninstall every other app lol
Maybe I just haven't encountered it, but are there malware apps? Just trying to get legitimate apps to work sometimes means having to enable debugging, approve permissions and jump through a whole bunch of warnings. Even then apps will get flagged by Play services (ex. Those game currency spoofer apps)
That's not from bad apps... If anything this new policy will make me use the mobile website instead of the app.
I'd also consider switching banks if it isn't too much of a hassle. They clearly can't invest well in terms of security for their users.
Can't use the mobile website, because the OTP is generated via the app. So you'll still need the app. Standalone OTP tokens are being phased out; my bank's doing so from October this year.
