Our business accounts are now with ANZ, who appear to be a bit sucky to interact with online. They seem to have pulled a Microsoft and have this weird disconnect between "business" and "personal" accounts but don't disclose what works where so if you try and perform certain actions via your account online it'll get all the way to the end then end up just randomly redirecting to the main page or give you a popup saying "not supported on this account" or whatever. Kinda lame for a big bank but that's not actually the point of this post.

They have ANZ Shield, which is just a 2FA app except it sucks. It's got 2 star Google reviews with countless complaints about how much it sucks, but apparently with their brazillions of dollars they haven't got around to fixing it as yet. It's not compatible with my Pixel 7 on Android 13 apparently so I can't see the suck for myself, but going by the comments and reviews there is still suck aplenty.

I want to enable 2FA because aside from sucking in general and at making 2FA apps, ANZ also sucks at passwords and has a limit of 16 chars and no non-alphanumeric characters - that's less secure than what I use for my Pattismiths account which is limited to ordering fat burgers on a weekend. Since ANZ Shield won't work I'm currently on SMS for my "second factor" but since its on the same device (so won't need a second auth, and can be spoofed to boot) it's not as good as a 2FA app.

Long story short... Has anyone worked out a way to enable ANZ Shield, but using Authy or Google Authenticator or some other 2FA app instead of the proprietary ANZ app that sucks?

Yeah if that's the case it's quite possibly either a white labelled version of Symantec VIP, or their own implementation of something similar.
