@SoylentGroyper @ins0mniak Thankfully the only service that requires me to use a phone app is my bank. They forced their stupid app on everyone, but at least I'm not forced to use biometrics.

A week ago, I wanted to setup GPay to try it out and immediately noped out when it asked me to register a fingerprint. Fuck that.

On the topic of Google being involved in authentication. I know way to many people that save password in Google and don't remember their Google password. When their phone dies, they wouldn't be able to log in to 99% of their accounts. And I can tell them: Use a password manager, I can host one for you if you want. I've been using it for years and it never failed me. But they still won't budge. They are too far gone. Same with their contacts. Everything in Google.
