As the title say, a bug which has been confirmed to be around for 7 years leaks the google account password as well as the 2FA code -if enabled-.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Open MicroG Settings
  • Add a Google account
  • Login with your Google account
  • Check logcat with adb logcat | grep GmsAuthLoginBrowser

Therefore, through logcat is possible to see the password, which is a gigantic security hole. This happens even without root.

Is also important to underline that microG per se has security problems.

    Don’t you need access via adb and have debugging options enabled to even see the logcat?
