The repos issue tracker is slightly more up to date.
There are some banking apps and apps in general that may be problematic. For such cases, here are the possible work around solutions.
No issues with running the RSA Authenticator (SecurID) app on both the Pixel 6 and 8 on the latest Android 14 build of GrapheneOS.
See previous reply for details as to why it wasn't working for non-GrapheneOS users as well - over a year ago is when it started being problematic.
It works as far as I can tell. However, it wasn't always the case.
My company also mentioned that GrapheneOS isn't supported by them.
Version 4.3.12 is - I just installed it on both the Pixel 6 and the new Pixel 8, both running the latest GrapheneOS builds with Android 14.
they don’t support grapheneos though, specifically said the app won’t work on it
In the summer of 2022, numerous issues arose for non-GrapheneOS users as well, as reflected in the reviews. This was because the SecurID update began utilizing the Play Integrity API to detect non-certified OS/devices. The Play Integrity API has since replaced the now-obsolete SafetyNet attestation API.

> The Auditor app uses hardware security features on supported devices to validate the integrity of the operating system from another Android device. It will verify that the device is running the stock operating system with the bootloader locked and that no tampering with the operating system has occurred. It will also detect downgrades to a previous version.
