Most integrated password managers should thwart this assuming the user doesn't reveal their passwords, though. The only thing in plaintext that would be visible would be the username. Of course, this assumes that OCR is their only vector.

If the password is being manually typed by the user, you could still theoretically use OCR against the keyboard inputs updating as the user taps each key, since most keyboards will highlight the selected key in some way.
@Chozo That's exactly why we should pick our mobile keyboards wisely lmao. Also regarding that, there are alot of open-source keyboards on F-Droid.
After this, and google stealing everything put on the internet…. there’s still kids saying Apple is worse.
I’m so tired of the Apple vs Android debate.
Never amounts to anything more than a glorified dick measuring contest except somehow worse because all dicks are objectively better than greedy mega corporations.
Just pick one and let other people enjoy what they want. Most people don’t care.
Obviously the best choice is running a custom ROM ran by small developers like GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. Their design focus is privacy and security for the user, not pushing shiny new invasive toys. Sometimes it's the things that you don't have included that is the best feature.
In the end they were both based off Linux/Unix and some people prefer standardisation and some customisation and development. No point in arguing about what someone else wants. Oh you are vegan? Well, I disagree and think you should be eating meat. What a shame we waste energy continuing these arguments. 😂
