App shows only 4 digits of a 6 digit code

[GHPS]

Problem: After scanning a 6 digit code only 4 digits are displayed.
The problem is caused by the two token per line grip layout - the
column is not wide enough for a 6 digit code.

Background: I was setting up the 2FA on Github with FreeOTPPlus but
couldn't enter the required 6 digits since the app gave me only 4 digits.
First I tried padding the number with zeros which expectingly didn't work.
Tapping on the Github token showed that the app correctly found a 6 digit token.

Quick fix: As a last resort to display the missing 2 digits I rotated the
device from portrait to landscape orientation. And voila, 6 instead of 4
digits were displayed.

Platform: FreeOTPPlus 2.4 (15), Android 9 on Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950F)
with latest updates installed.

Thank you for the report. I cannot reproduce the issue on my emulator or on galaxy s20. Could you share a screenshot to illustrate the issue?

[GHPS]

Included you'll find the two screenshots. Excuse the quality - since the
security settings of Android 9 prevent screenshotting FreeOTP, these
are real screenshots from a second phone.

While taking the shots I've come across another problem: The app invalidates
the current code when the phone is rotated from portrait to landscape
(or back).

Thanks for the detailed report. I know the issue now. Galaxy note 8 has 414dp width but new freeotp is treating 400+ dp as tablet and is displaying two columns. I will fix the issue asap by using 480dp width instead.

Great - thanks for your work.

Another approach would be to split the screen horizontally in two parts:

• A top message area which shows the 6 digits, clock and the provider.
• A lower part with icons in rows of two to select from.

Other apps use this layout and it is quite elegant.

2.5 was released to fix the issue.

Great - I've just checked and the problem is indeed fixed.

The second issue, however, is still there - the token displayed
gets invalidated when the device is rotated.
