Description

Checks
  • I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:

There are a lot of bugs regarding notifications, but I couldn't find this one.
K2A places notifications on top of the password field, which is quite annoying. This happens especially when I type a wrong password. Instead of typing the password again or use the eye-button to see what character is wrong I have to wait till the fading message is gone. I suggest to place these messages in the big blue block on top where it doesn't interfere with any input fields or controls.
Note: I can't add a screenshot since the app (understandably) doesn't allow taking screenshots.

Describe what you expected to happen:

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the password-entry notification on Android 14, then trace the screen's notification placement; done means the message no longer covers the password field or its controls and the behavior is regression-checked.
