Yep, hardware attestation is becomming more common, even with websites.

This is why LineageOS is actually dead in the water, even though they're "in talks with hardware vendors". It doesn't matter when people can't use the apps and services they need.

A solution could be having a tiny non-rooted Android system as a "coprocessor".


This won't work. The tiny non-rooted system wouldn't get certified by Google and therefore not pass hardware attestation, which most banking apps use.


Well you could take a certified system off-the-shelf and integrate it into a bigger thing.


I think they mean having a second non-rooted phone that is certified but cheap.
