I ran into the same issue with not receiving a verification code.

On a whim, I entered my account password I created during registration into the verification code field, and lo and behold the app accepted it.

Hope this helps...

Tom,

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this.... I merged your code into a build of Slim (4.4.4) and all is working great. Really appreciate your hard work!

Xposed worked well enough for me but I found it to be a battery drain and wanted to see if i could get this into the android framework itself as I build my own ROM for my Nexus 5.

So, the first thing i did was modify Nfc and Settings apps so you can choose when to enable Nfc Polling...

• Polling off
• Screen off
• Screen on and locked
• Screen on and unlocked
• Screen on and locked only - this is a new mode i've put in that turns Nfc on with the screen and then off again once unlocked. As I only use Nfc on my phone for unlocking, this is really useful as its nice on the battery and doesn't prompt with the empty tag viewer every time i unlock!

Then, using the Xposed module as a basis for the code (so big thanks to those guys!) I added Nfc unlocking into the framework and Nfc app as well as a section under Security settings where you can add/remove tags that are allowed to unlock.

In terms of security, the Nfc tag acts as an override to whatever other lock screen you're using, pattern, pin etc. The tag contents are only handled if the screen is unlocked. If polling is set to 'screen on and locked' then the tag will be picked up as soon as the device is unlocked but there's no way for an unauthorised tag to have its contents handled while the screen is off or on and locked. The unlock is triggered from the Nfc app as an intent, it's probably possible to trigger this intent from elsewhere but the tags uid is checked from within the keyguard while handling it so the uid needs to be known and passed as part of the intent for this to work.

It's all working nicely so far but given i'm not that familiar with the guts of the android lock screen security and creating new ui's, there's probably room for improvement.

Given this is framework changes there isn't really an easy way to release something people can use and test. The code is all here:

https://github.com/AospPlus/android_frameworks_base/commits/aosp-plus_4.4
https://github.com/AospPlus/android_packages_apps_Settings/commits/aosp-plus_4.4
https://github.com/AospPlus/android_packages_apps_Nfc/commits/aosp-plus_4.4

and it's based on pure aosp (with a few other relatively minor changes) so should be straight forward enough to merge into other ROMs. If anyone wants to make changes/fixes and submit pull requests then please do. Once it's tested a bit and improved where needed I'll see about getting patches submitted to the major ROMs, (CyanogenMod etc.)

Anyone with a Nexus 5 who knows how to compile ROMs can do so with

    repo init https://github.com/AospPlus/android_manifest -b aosp-plus_4.4
    repo sync
