GrapheneOS is such a staple for me now. Been waiting for it to be released for the Pixel 8 since I got the phone at launch... it doesn't have the annoying search bar or the unmovable widget telling you the weather... Regardless of the security and privacy it offers... And its just pretty.
I want to switch to grapheneos but my work 2fa app is android and Apple only, devs confirmed that it doesn't work on any other os
I am on CalyxOS and the 2FA for my work, works flawlessly even after I block the trackers that come with its Android app.
Unfortunately it's just this specific app that (they say) doesn't work on non-mainstream android os's. It specifically generated 8 character codes and you use a URL instead of a string of characters to register it. According to the comments it doesn't work on jailbroken devices either since it scans your other apps and won't work if it finds something it didn't like. If it was just a general 2fa app then I'd just switch to a different one and have switched to grapheneos
No issues with running the RSA Authenticator (SecurID) app on both the Pixel 6 and 8 on the latest Android 14 build of GrapheneOS.
See previous reply for details as to why it wasn't working for non-GrapheneOS users as well - over a year ago is when it started being problematic.
Is Google pay and banking apps working?
Here's a crowd-sourced list of international banking apps that are compatible with GrapheneOS:

The issue tracker has slightly more current banking app reports:

Some banking apps may be problematic and here are some possible workaround solutions:

I know Android plans on fixing this but it's wild that FIOD2 functionality requires Google Play services.
Have you used KISS launcher? I run that on Android when I can't get GrapheneOS on it.
I've never bothered with alternative launchers, I tired one once and it drained my battery so quick I removed it.
ah well it’s worth the effort of installing fdroid anyways.
Nothing against the OS, but if your gripes are about the search bar or weather widget, couldn't you use a different launcher?
