First Direct App - Security Problem Stops Access

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.Let's Be Careful Out There0 -
Just tried it again and now works with Swiftkey.

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

Like to keep this thread to a single problem/solution.
