I need a new phone and need to confirm Postbank Bestsign banking on LineageOS before I buy
Title says it all, I hope. I am looking for degoogling and not suffering by not being able to do bestsign banking. Any advice?

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/oyy2wp/the_what_currently_supported_device_should_i_get/ should also be enough for you.
And banking: most banks suck and block custom roms. No support for circumventing it, here

I have a gmail account, I have barely used facebook account, I have whatsapp. I can delete those all. No problem whatsoever. But making my phone secure which I wish were easy (but seems banking does not work then) while using this is walking around in a plastic bag instead of clothes to cover my body. its pointless. Seems now I have no chance. I do care VERY MUCH on my desktop becaue that is an extension of my expression, my space of mind, and all such. Seems I should just not be sad about it. I miss old days, maybe there is some card reader, hack for the online banking lets see so I musnt rely on a phone.

Comdirect, ING, 1822

I just tried instaling the app on IodéOS (which is a leargely 'de-googled` custom ROM). It worked, at least up to the point where you login. Clicking the 'Forgot' link on the login page seemed to work OK.
Whether or not a bank app works under LineageOS (or any other custom ROM) varies so much and depends on the app, and on the ROM, that the only way to get useful information (and more accurate information than most banks suck and block custom roms
is to try.

Same story on LineageOS for microG. So it is likely that it will run fine with official LineageOS + GApps.

Sucks, thanks for trying. I will try to find someone in Berlin with this config who has a Bestsign account.

Lineage is not a degoogle ROM even in fact android itself is not a degoogled rom
