However, for the past few days, a weird issue is plauging OnePlus users. Many of them have voiced their concern that their banking app is categorizing the system app/accessibility service “Frequently used info & passwords” as an unknown screen reader and hence blocking OTP input, thereby invalidating their transaction.
