If certain banks won't allow me to log in to their websites/through their apps because my phone's version of Android is too old, is there any chance that I'd be able to access their apps through #grapheneos or any other non-#android device?

@timjan Can you log on using your desktop? There would be a limit to OS ability

@timjan I just use their mobile websites, through Vanadium on GrapheneOS.
Bank apps work fine on GrapheneOS as long as location services are enabled 24/7. But I'm too cranky to allow that.

@CStamp Yes, desktop tends to work.
(There are exceptions: a different bank than the one I was thinking of here, breaks if I attempt to log in via Firefox on Linux. It works to use Chromium based on Linux, or I can use Firefox on Windows)...

"Breaks" as in, the site is convinced a hacker tried to break in, so they deprecates my present password and makes me jump through various hoops to create a new password before I can log in from ANY device.

The apps are checking for a recent Android version, so either GrapheneOS or LineageOS will have up-to-date Android.
You might check if your phone can run LineageOS ( https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ ). If you install Google Apps ( https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/ ) , then most bank apps work (though a few don't).
GrapheneOS is easier to install, with better privacy, but only runs on modern Pixel phones (the 8A is presently $250 on Swappa, supported to 2031)

@timjan
If you DM me an app name, I can try loading it on Graphene and LineageOS with MicroG, and see if it launches on both. -
