Android 15 to stop untrusted apps from reading OTP, 2FA codes
Android 15 will likely have the capability to hide notifications with OTP and 2FA codes. Nowadays, the use of OTP and two-factor authentication is crucial as it safeguards your privacy and security of accounts across the internet.
Developer Preview 1 of the new OS is available for select Google Pixel devices. While Android 15 DP1 has no visible changes or major features, many are in the pipeline that will join the crew with time, probably in Public Beta.

A new Android permission titled “RECEIVE_SENSITIVE_NOTIFICATIONS” would have to be granted by the device manufacturer. It would work with a new flag called “OTP_REDACTION” which, may be able to hide OTPs and 2FA codes from notifications.
It’s expected that Google may deploy this change with a future build of the Android 15. How this feature will work remains mystery at the moment, but it’s going to be quite useful for users for top-notch security against theft.
