Instead of replacing your phone, have you thought about replacing your bank? Is there any competition that does not force this bullshit onto it's customers?

Yes. I couldn't. The alternatives were worse. I need remote banking (travelling too frequently). No alternative allowed plain login without a second factor.

I've seen other banks here _charging_ for the hardware OTP dongle separately. The yearly price of the dongle was more expensive than simply getting another crap phone and installing the app.
