Issues like auto-cancellation of auth are still prevalent and so, impl a new activity just for auth and trampoline the user to it (the way we do for Pause mode), should make auto-cancellation not dismiss the app itself:

Unfortunately Android doesn't let me capture it, but when working correctly, you open Rethink after a while since last authenticating, and you get three "layers":

  1. Rethink's Home screen
  2. the Android prompt on top of that, asking to provide biometric auth, including a Password button to fall back to that
  3. the Android fingerprint reader itself, lit up at the bottom of the screen

What I'm seeing when launching from recents is this:

  • Rethink's Home screen opens
  • a moment later it closes again, returning me to my Android launcher
  • an Authentication cancelled toast from Rethink shows
  • the biometric prompt then appears over my launcher, but the fingerprint reader doesn't light up at all

Effectively I end up with only layer 2 from above.
