Apparently Linux phones are missing a lot of features still? I would need maps, MFA app, banking apps, and (preferably) a Google wallet type function to make the switch.

    Any password manager worth its salt will be able to generate 2FA OTP codes. I know KeePassXC can do it on desktopas an example. Banking apps may have to be replaced with banking websites. I actually switched to my bank for this exact reason, because my previous bank would not allow me to use the website for full functionality, which is why they are my previous bank. I'm betting somebody would be willing to port OSMAnd onto Linux mobileif it or something similar is not already available.

    Thank you for your response.

    Right, so a bitwarden Linux desktop client could be the 2FA solution.

    Banking websites: fair point.

    OSMand is an option. Perhaps Organic Maps would work too as it already has a desktop Linux client?

    Using the fact that KeePassXC can generate ToTP codes was more an example that any password manager worth at salt should have that ability. It would not surprise me at all if something for KeePass would be made available on Linux Mobile.
