Bug: Google 2 step authentication dont work if Macredroid is enabled

[Nolan]

Hi

There is a Bug in MC that is super annoying and caused me to spend 2 days factory resetting my phone and setting it up again:

Google 2 step authentication dont work if Macrodroid is enabled.

Hi

i notices lately that the google 2 step authentication prompt became un-responsive first time the screen has been turned off after a reboot. After rebooting keeping the screen on it works, until screen off again. Its also not spolibæe to go into the google accoung and eg go through the apps that has asked for access - after screen off - the screen freezes. Its only in the google account its a problem, if the app os closed again all other apps work fine.



To replicate this try this:

1. open google press the login circle upper right corner
2. Press "administer your google account" at the top
3. scroll right (swipe left) to "security"
4. Press "security"
5. under "recent activity" press "review security activity"
6. Now you cant scroll it freezes

The first time after reboot it works but pressing the Lock button and after reopening the phone again the above bug happens.

I wonder if it has something to do with some rights MD has gained ? EDIT: It appears to be related to MD allowing overlay on order for a macro to dim screen. If i remove MD access to overlay it seems to work.

Any solution ?

Thanks

Unfortunately this is a security measure implemented by Google and presumably effects any app that is using overlays. The only way around it is to disable the overlay I'm afraid so maybe you should try the brightness action instead of using dim screen.
