      Recommendations Recommended for use

      The use of FLAG_SECURE is a well-known Android security measure to prevent sensitive data being leaked through the screen.

      One specific issue that FLAG_SECURE does not address on older Android versions is that the keyboard and cursor are visible while FLAG_SECURE is set on the application activity in such a way that it is possible to retrieve the sensitive data. Please see secure in-app keyboard for more information.
