I am only talking about what the app does when it is the foreground app. I should have addressed that in the previous comment.
It's not a sidetrack, because that's what the actual article is about.
- jsjohnst 9y agoSo if you really were talking about the foreground app and not just covering now, then why does one need to make a fake keyboard!? That makes no sense at all.
- emmelaich 9y agoI was just making a more fundamental point (see my middle para) and decided to hang it off this thread rather than making it top level. I didn't have a specific scenario in mind. But to address your question ... Say a user is reassured because he knows that only approved keyboard apps can accept passwords. This malware app pops up a password prompt AND some images and input buttons that looks very much like a 'proper' keyboard. The user enters his password. Game over.
