A phone is also a more hardened target than your laptop.An updated app on an updated OS on an encrypted phone with biometric login, and multi factor authentication setup with the bank, is the safest way to interact with your financial accounts that exists. Far safer than a phone call, an email, or even an in person visit to the bank. All of those features I mentioned are pretty standard.
I don’t keep the Vanguard app on my phone because it’s more convenient to do my Vanguarding at home where I have a keyboard and monitor, but I do have banking apps on my phone that I use all the time. I wouldn’t hesitate to have brokerage apps on my phone if I needed them.
