So if you really were talking about the foreground app and not just covering now, then why does one need to make a fake keyboard!? That makes no sense at all.

I was just making a more fundamental point (see my middle para) and decided to hang it off this thread rather than making it top level.

I didn't have a specific scenario in mind.

But to address your question ...

Say a user is reassured because he knows that only approved keyboard apps can accept passwords.

This malware app pops up a password prompt AND some images and input buttons that looks very much like a 'proper' keyboard.

The user enters his password.

Game over.
