Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Time to switch away from Auth I guess. Not even using GrapheneOS cause I have a Samsung phone, but this is not acceptable

Give Aegis a try, it is great.

Authy is no good anyway. Keeps codes hostage with no way to back them up. So many great open source alternatives

same. i wish i could run graphene or something similar on my moto G stylus. I wish my Pixel 6, 7 and 6a didnt all have defects. the 7 was my favourite.

I wish aegis had a UI like that... I prefer it to Aegis "Normal" view. They're almost the same but ente is a little better

Switched to Ente Auth when Authy stopped having a free desktop version. What if I lose my phone? I want both my devices to have access to my codes.

Aegis is also nice

I don't know if this is standard on all authenticator apps or not but I like the fact that Ageis makes you enter your password once in a while so you don't forget it.
