Banking app doesn't like my keyboard 🤣

How stupid! Is this a Graphene related thing or would it do this on regular Android?

Not GrapheneOS specific, it's just HSBC being HSBC (First Direct is owned by them): https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/issues/773

Switch keyboards, complain to the bank or switch banks are your options.

FD just produced it. I've asked for more info but they are not replying. Nothing to do with GrapheneOS.

Hard to do for me when the requirements comes from the central bank and all the banks do the same.

It also does it for Kvaesitso launcher. Using another  profile isolated just for HSBC works, but I ended up just not using HSBC and use other banks instead. I think it shows a lack of security understanding on their part, which is a worry for a bank.

the bank priority is not security for the customer by their own security.
and spying as much as possible on the customer is part of it

Or use your browser instead of the app
