No. BankID in Sweden. Other countries have similar. You need it for everything.

MitID in Denmark, and many across Europe for government and/or banking.
I will install LineageOS once I need apps that my old phone no longer supports. I ordered the MitID backup key generator in case their app doesn't work, but I'd prefer not to need to carry it.

You inspired me to be slightly less lazy. In case anyone finds this, it seems like you can get BankID to work[1], at least according to comments from three years ago. Who knows if that still works or is sustainable though.

Each their own individual apps. I only wish they standardized on TOTP or U2F.

The "funny" thing is that the underlying algorithm is often still TOTP. What the banks do not like is the standard QR-code based mechanism of key distribution and the possibility to export the key.
If so you can get a Yubikey and use Yubikey authenticator on a LineageOS device and it will work fine with all of those services. It follows the same standard as Google Authenticator and is a drop-in replacement.
