I laugh that the app from my bank throws an error saying all third-party keyboards are malware & unsafe.
I use AnySoftKeyboard still since it has a ton of keyboards & features (tho autocorrect needs improvements).

I laugh that the app from my bank throws an error saying all third-party keyboards are malware & unsafe.

I use Gboard because of it's customizability. I like adding words to the dictionary to make it easier to type usernames. Gboard lets you pin things so you can save for more than one hour. Never copy OTPs, always type them manually.
any app is prob fine as long as you turn its internet access off. they literally have access to everything you type.
I use SwiftKey and switch off the app access to the Internet.
Also trying out FUTO keyboard. Seems pretty good.
I just use defaults.
Because the idea is, if my phone's manfacturer wanted to spy on me, they could do so regardless of what keyboard I use.
I use a samsung phone so its just the samsung default keyboard. I do go to settjngs and turn off any telemetry stuff and just have to hope they aren't lying when I turn off telemetry stuff.
I do use clipboard history, but if I ever copy a password or some sensitive data, I have an app that I can use afterwards that overwrites the clipboard data with random data.
But most of the time, never really need to copy passwords since I use bitwarden and it directly inputs passwords, bypassing the clipboard history completely.
Also OTPs are one time only so doesn't really matter if they get leaked.
I use futo keyboard because it's got great voice and swipe typing.
Heliboard I believe, installed the google swiping .so, I believe you can set it to ignore saving inputs or forget them after a time. I like the customization options, I can have solarized dark everywhere including my phone.
I use futo board. I like that it had the ability to process speech to text locally. I personally also disable the clipboard
At the moment I don't use any keyboard app. I haven't found any that I really like. I used to use gboard which was nice before I became privacy concious and realised gboard could be tracking every key press I make.
If I am going to use a keyboard app I wouldn't use anything unless it is FOSS software.
Try heliboard. It's FOSS, and it's based off the keyboard in AOSP, which should basically be gboard.
