What hellhole is this when the US typically has no such requirement?

If this is a country in the EU, y'all need to step up and tell US to fuck off,

    Denmark here. Both MobilePay (a national phone payment app that works for private to private where you just send to a phone number and in place of credit card payment in shops and webshops) and MitID (national authentication app used for logging in to everything regarding public services and quite a few private services too) have severe problems outside of Play Integrity. MitID straight up doesn't work and MobilePay fails an integrity check once in a while forcing a reinstall.

    These two apps are integral to life in Denmark. MobilePay has no backup measure but MitID has physical code viewers you can get. But that is not something the common user would go out of their way go figure out.

    MobilePay used to work just fine for me, until a couple months back. My plan is to get some crappy used phone, install MobilePay on that and use RustDesk to gain access from my main LineageOS phone.

    Thankfully over here we authenticate with banks, and the 2 banks I use work just fine with no play services.
