[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1063878, member: 55987"] Just upgraded to Android 14 with UI 6.0 for my SAMSUNG Galaxy 23 Ultra Auto Blocker, if enabled, blocks apps from unauthorized sources So what are the authorized sources? Samsung and Google Stores only? Before the Android 14 upgrade............ I installed f-droid and downloaded Bitwarden from there. Bitwarden is greyed out under Accessibility. I went to Apps => Bitwarden App Info => App notifications but Allow notification is greyed out. Auto-fill feature not working with android app but I can auto-fill with the Bitwarden extension I installed Mullvad VPN from f-droid and everything's ok. It's not listed in Accessibility. Similalry, I downloaded ExpressVPN directly from its website, working ok and it's not listed under Accessibility I also downloaded BitDefender Mobile Security from apkmirror and it also greyed out under Accessibility. Greyed out causes some features unable to turn on since they need access under Accessibility. I can allow All notifications here. However, I installed Kiwi browser from github and it's not shown up in Accessibility. I guess Github is one of the authorized sources. Only recently I had this issue. Previously I don't have this issue. Or is it that SAMSUNG phone has McAfee protection and SAMSUNG Password Manager and that's why it's causing BitDefender Mobile Security and Bitwarden Password Manager accessibility issues? Alfter a hard reset and upgraded to Android 14 the problems are still there EDIT OK, after I installed BitDefender Mobile Security and Bitwarden from Google Play Store now they are fully working. I think SAMSUNG is blocking apps from unauthorized stores even if Auto Blocker is turned off. Too bad its Web Protection does NOT protect Kiwi browser ie. Kiwi browser is NOT a supported browser [/QUOTE]
