Why not get a bank pass for this kind of stuff, and do banking on websites if you need to?

Couldn't you get like the cheapest android phone just for these apps specifically? Or do people need to do banking stuff on the go?

This is something I am considering. Could even put it in a Faraday bag when I'm not using it.

Typically, the website says "please confirm authorisation on your mobile phone".
