    No probs with the FD app here. On most recent iOS.

    I've seen other banking apps complain about keyboard apps. It is a genuine issue, but easily solved by enforcing an in-app keyboard within the banking app.

    Same issue, FD in secure folder, needed to stop Swiftkey to log in.
    EDIT but they have no issues using a 7 year old Android 11 phone.

    My HSBC app was updated yesterday and now I get a message saying the app won't start because I need to uninstall any 'virtual space apps' which as far as I know I have none

    It is running in the secure folder so maybe that is the problem

    Can't generate a security key of course so can't log on to internet banking either so a warning to anybody - if you have FD or HSBC in the secure folder you might want to move it out ASAP

    **OP maybe you could update your title to say HSBC as well so that anyone looking at this will be warned

    Happy to - if you could confirm that you are running a keyboard app other than Gboard and that switching this cures your problem.
