TL;DR

Google is working on enhancing Android 15 to protect sensitive notifications, particularly those containing one-time passwords (OTPs), from being intercepted by malicious apps. The new features include a permission called RECEIVE_SENSITIVE_NOTIFICATIONS, which restricts untrusted apps from accessing notifications with OTPs, and a flag called OTP_REDACTION to prevent leakage of 2FA codes on the lock screen. These measures aim to bolster security and prevent account hijacking through intercepted OTPs.
