   so fedi security people: my bank wants me to install an app. I have a very dirty phone and I like to click on stuff and am not very secure... what should I do?
   
   do you have a second phone? what's the most secure option?

     @FrailLeaf @kaia Not unless her bank requires SafetyNet or some other locked down bullshit. Getting a burner is probably the only viable option aside from switching banks.

     @FrailLeaf @kaia More restrictions on an user allows for more effective datamining, I presume.

     @mint @kaia why the hell would they do that? lock down checks like that in place to verify if it is actual hardware? I wonder if they know you can get cheap shit phones and basically do that same thing....

     @kaia second phone. although android also supports multiple accounts, so you can make one dirty account and a clean one for banking etc.

     @kaia In my threat model, the "dirty" stuff I do on my phone puts banking with a mainstream bank within the same enveloppe, so I personally I just wouldn't bother separating it. Unless you have a rooted phone with weird software from shifty randos, your insecure habits are likely infinitely better than your average normie elderly person's, and those still OVERWHELMINGLY get "hacked" or defrauded through disclosing information they shouldn't, not through their device being insecure.

     -tan generator (physical device)
     -fido2 (in the app) with a key with NFC
     -an dedicated old phone (worst option)
     -fuck it
