I’m sorry, but in that case, it wasn’t worth running the app to begin with. You can either find a third-party app that lets you access the same content, such as Newpipe and YouTube, or you can use it from a web browser, such as your bank, and if you can’t do either of those, then just don’t fucking use that service.
I was willing to totally switch banks because my previous bank required me to use a mobile app and I did not want to do so. If I must go through some annoyance to use something that works properly, I will.
For me at least, running as much open source as I can possibly do is worth more than the inconvenience caused by not being able to use these shit services.
I use open source whenever I can, but sometimes that just isn’t an option in the real world. I work in IT at a hospital that REQUIRES Duo. I use GrapheneOS. I was able to get it to work, but it was a horrible experience.
I did honestly think about this, but its honestly more trouble than it’s worth. Carrying around two phones is just kind of am eh experience, plus I’m new, and I don’t wanna be that guy. If I kept having issues with it, that is probably the route I would have ended up taking, but it’s working as expected now. I’m not a FOSS purest or anything either way. I have a librebooted thinkpad, but I also have several proprietary apps on my phone. Its all about usability for me.

I was “required” to use duo. Okta worked fine. Might be the same in your situation, might be worth a looksee.
I’d be telling them to provide a work phone.
