I've installed LineageOS on my father's 10yo device and it works great.

Unfortunately I won't be able to the same on mine, because I need my banking apps to work for two-factor authentication.

Just one bank in my area allows for a hardware key and I don't have an account there.

It appears that I'm forced to have an up-to-date device with its original OS to do banking.

Installing LineageOS does not imply losing access to Google services and the Play Store.

Banking applications complain regardless.
