Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

@grote Wow that is so hard.
I can feel the issue of avoiding people being tricked but with them I have some doubts.
Also why do I need to use biometrics?

@chand_v_post @grote That seems to just be shorthand for "unlock your device", since that is usually done with biometrics.

@WAHa_06x36 @grote thanks for the explanation.
I feel like google did not think about real tools to help people beside make as hard as possible to use 3rd party software.
No anti virus (that windows has it), no isolation tools, app verifier, only google protect but not sure about it (is it enough) .
