MyAndroid application uses a secret key to generate a token for authentication purposes. Is there a more secure way to store this than just putting this in the data store? I think for the iPhone, we store it in the keychain. I am aware of android.accounts.AccountManager, but this seems to give other applications potentially the ability to access the password (if the user selects the wrong option) and so seems less secure.

The world of Android smartphones is filled with hidden gems, waiting to be discovered by curious users. Among these hidden treasures are secret codes, special strings of characters that can unlock a wealth of information and functionality on your device. These codes, often referred to as MMI codes or USSD codes, provide access to diagnostic tools, configuration settings, and even Easter eggs.
While some secret codes are universal and work across different Android devices, others are specific to particular manufacturers or models. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the realm of Android secret codes, exploring their purposes and potential benefits. We'll also uncover a list of the top 30 secret codes for Android, empowering you to harness the hidden capabilities of your smartphone.
Information codes: These codes reveal information about your device, such as the IMEI number, software version, and battery statistics. Testing codes: These codes allow you to test various aspects of your device's hardware, such as the microphone, speaker, and touchscreen. Configuration codes: These codes enable you to modify certain device settings, such as call forwarding and network preferences.
Display Complete Phone Information This code surfaces a hidden menu called Testing. It shows everything from battery stats to usage times, as well as specific absorption rate (SAR) values. The menu has multiple tabs that reveal extensive device status and testing options.
##7780## - Restart Your Phone in Safe Mode Enter this code to restart your Android device in Safe Mode. Safe Mode loads only the original software, without third-party apps and services. This is useful to isolate potential software issues if your device becomes unstable.
In Safe Mode, download newest software updates to fix operating system issues. Disable problematic third-party apps in normal mode to resolve crashes/freezes. This code provides quick access to Safe Mode.
This code reveals the specific absorption rate (SAR) values of your phone. SAR measures how much cellular radiation is absorbed into body tissues while using a phone. Lower values equal less radiation exposure.
All phones have a unique 15-digit IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) number. Input *#06# to instantly display it. This shows the individual identifier code of your specific device hardware.
Use cautiously - This code removes factory reset protection from devices with that security feature active. Enter it only if you forget the Gmail linked to protecting a locked phone. Permanently deletes Google account association.
Tired of sluggish performance and rogue apps crashing constantly? Enter ##0283## to launch a developer options menu for controlling active phone processes. Fine tune how many can run to optimize stability.
See Android security patch level for your exact OS build. Check board name against factory specs to accurately identify phone model and compatible components. Another great code for tech enthusiasts.
While iPhone doesn't have quite as many secret code options, you can still access some handy hidden menus. Dial these codes within the Phone app to enable various utilities and information screens in iOS.
PART 3: Multi-Platform Secret Codes for Android and iOS Both Android and iPhone allow certain other codes that activate common hidden menus and tests. These work across platforms for checking similar options on nearly all mobile devices.
While secret codes offer a fascinating glimpse into the hidden depths of Android devices, it's crucial to exercise caution when using them. Some codes can trigger unexpected actions or alter system configurations, potentially leading to data loss or device malfunction. Therefore, it's recommended to research each code thoroughly before attempting to use it.
Android's secret codes offer a gateway to a world of hidden features, providing valuable insights into your device's performance and enabling you to troubleshoot issues or access advanced settings. However, it's essential to approach these codes with caution, ensuring that you understand their purpose and potential consequences before using them. With responsible exploration, these secret codes can be a powerful tool for enhancing your Android experience.
The *3370# code on iPhone is used to access the Black List/White List service, which allows you to block or allow specific phone numbers from calling or texting you. This code may not work on all iPhone models.
Secret codes, also known as USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes or MMI (Man-Machine Interface) codes, are special codes that can be entered into a phone's dialer to access hidden features, perform diagnostic tests, or retrieve specific information. These codes are often used by phone technicians and advanced users to troubleshoot problems or gain deeper insights into the device's operation.
I have created an new oAuth 2 Client ID with android as the type under my playstore account. I am able to see the new client id but the client secret is missing. I have waited several hours but it is still not there.
To use the new Cloud console, just click on the message "We are improving the experience. Try the new Cloud Console." Google will ask for a SMS confirmation. Now you'll be redirected to the new cloud console
Now, just select your project, click on "Registered Apps" on the left menu, selected your android app, and voil, on oAuth 2.0 Client Id you'll see your client secret. No idea why on the old google console it's not displayed, but if you really need a client secret key, it's there.
Would upgrading to the latest experience interfere with any other processes or apps he may already have in test or production? Could he authenticate by using the Google Play Developer API on the old google console version?
I'm having this problem today, with the supposedly new Google Cloud Console... It doesn't fix it. I successfully create an OAuth client for an Android app, and the client secret never appears on any screen, in the JSON file, etc. I have spent hours adding roles and permissions to my account to explicitly give access to client secrets.
What the heck is going on? Are OAuth client secrets just not available on a free tier Google Console account? Is this not available until my app is uploaded to Google Play and/or verified? Is Google's OAuth client secret generator just not working??? I just want to be able to test Google SSO login with my app, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be working. It's so frustrating!
I don't know if this is the right place for this but the device where I installed the app was stolen. I'm trying to set it up on a new device but the problem is the secret key. I know the email I used and the master password but not the secret key.
Sorry to hear about your device. Was that the only device where you were using 1Password? If you have the 1Password app installed on another device (Mac, PC, or mobile device), you will be able to see the Secret Key in there:
Do you have your email account setup on another device at least, where you can receive emails? If you do, you could recover your email account password, so you could access your Emergency Kit after resetting your password there.
If this is an individual membership it sounds as though the only chance of recovery here would be to contact the cloud provider where you stored your Emergency Kit to see if they can help you recover access to that account. Without your Secret Key, it would not be possible to access your 1Password data.

Marky,
You might benefit from this advice >>>>>I use an app called color note, you can lock your notes with a password & ColorNote automatically syncs notes once a day, and also you can manually sync your notes. Your notes are encrypted with the AES standard before being uploaded to the cloud storage. AES is the encryption standard that banks use to secure customer data.
Marky just a suggestion>>>>>>>>>>>>> but buy a spare mobile device you can get them for 50 bucks or so, and put your 1password info on that in case you ever lose your main device, or it gets stolen. That way you can get back in & have your secret key password and all your important info.
Another great option is Mega storage, I also have my "stuff" there it's great Mega storage attracts customers due to its approach to security. Mega uses end-to-end encryption. All files that are uploaded to MEGA's servers are encrypted on the side of the client,
Hope my advice is helpful.
I know getting locked out, or losing a device stinks, this is just my 2 cents worth to help, so you will always have access to "your stuff" and not get stuck with no way to access your important things again.
The problem in this case is that if 1Password itself is not accessible, such as in this case, using other cloud storage services would not help if the Secret Key is lost, and you have no way to access your passwords to login to them. However, this is a good suggestion:
