I'm living this pain with a custom ROM already, with some banking stuff, Google Wallet, WhatsApp passkeys and I think Netflix (haven't installed it) block you for tripping up Google's security tests.

If passkeys become a big thing and they'll start enforcing them and apps that have those security measures I'm going to fucking firebomb something. REEEEEE

Shit like this is why I don't have a smartphone anymore. I have a brick phone that half the time I don't even take out with me.
