Android 15 will hide one-time passwords in notifications.

In response to malware and social engineering attacks that work by snooping notifications or activating screen sharing, Google says Android 15 will hide notifications with one-time passwords (with some exceptions, like wearable companion apps).

They’re also automatically hidden during screen sharing, and developers can enable their apps to check if Google Play Protect is active, or if another app might be capturing the screen during use.
