• Loss of popular 2FA tool puts security-minded GrapheneOS in a paradox
• GrapheneOS on X — Google can either permit GrapheneOS in the Play Integrity API in the near future
• GrapheneOS on X — If Authy insists on using it, they should use the standard Android hardware attestation API to permit using GrapheneOS too. Banning 250k+ people with the most secure smartphones from using your app is anti-security, not pro-security.
• GrapheneOS on X — Authy simply delegated checking device integrity to Google. It's Google choosing to block GrapheneOS users from using Authy. Google chooses to allow using a device with no security patches for the past 8 years but bans using an OS much more secure than the stock Pixel OS.
