And plenty of banking apps consider it as a security threat. 😅

"It's so good that other apps are threatened merely by its presence"

Android auto copies numbers in SMS text messages to the clipboard, so any apps capable of monitoring the clipboard are suspect for one time security pin harversting.

Happens quite a lot in my country (Malaysia). People, especially the older ones, install apps form unknown source because their WhatsApp/WeChat friends shared them, then their online banking access got compromised, savings account emptied out, and there's nothing the banks can do because on their record, its the account holder doing the transfer.

Some banks now moved away from SMS and use dedicated app for this purpose now.
