    but if for some reason you can't access the account on the App you can't simply delete the App, re install and then use a new login

    edit: i'm not saying you can't login to the same account on another phone, but you can't login to two on the same phone. or can you?

    The first part is false. The second part is true but not what you asked.
    You can delete the app but if you haven't previously de-registered it, you cannot then use a re-installed app with a different login.

    You can if you delete it properly. Not a soft uninstall. Think about it, do you think Halifax can impose a certain profile on a certain piece of hardware like Microsoft's Windows? If so then you couldn't even get rid of this "registration" with a factory reset. "De-registering" is just removing the stored credentials on your phone, like deleting cookies on your browser.

    "do you think Halifax can impose a certain profile on a certain piece of hardware"

    Of course they can. Google 'device fingerprinting'.

     No you cannot. That’s the entire point the OP made.

    Fingerprinting is not enrollment. It's not even used for authentication. Fingerprint is basically cookies. Google intune autopilot.

    No the entire point is Halifax can't enroll the app automatically. What hoc said is correct. According to you if you buy a used phone off ebay that's been factory reset without the owner unregistering their app as you say must be done then you can not install and use the Halifax app again on this device. Ever even with your different google account. That's wrong. That's the point.
