Magisk[1] works with Lineage and might be able to fool your annoying banking app.

Don't use Magisk, but it allowed me to fool all apps that I'm aware of.

I really don't understand this mentality (doing it with a bank app, I also had it with OTP app), because I have full control over my phone that somehow makes it compromised?

What's next? I no longer will have access to my bank account because I'm less trustworthy?

Good job they don't let you access your bank account via a website if you're an admin user on a PC!

Oh wait, they do...

Honestly, I don't understand the mentality either. Admittedly the phone is more portable than a laptop, but the chances of stealing a laptop and gaining access to any cached banking credentials on it is identical to a phone, surely?
