Android has had an autofill feature for password managers for years now, but it’s broken and needs to be fixed.
I dunno, I use Bitwarden and Firefox on Android so pretty none mainstream and don’t have any of the issues this clown does. Seems like a click bait article for the sake of it.
That’s because Bitwarden used various methods to enable auto-fill in places where the native auto-fill capability of Android doesn’t work. See https://bitwarden.com/help/auto-fill-android/ for an explanation.
Yeah, I had this sort of experience back with LastPass, but Bitwarden works beautifully for me.
There’s a potentially valid criticism if that occurs because iOS’s mechanism is robust to poorly implemented password managers and Android’s isn’t, but that’s also not the criticism being provided here.
My banking apps lock screens consistently aren’t recognized by Bitwarden Android.
Some websites/apps only show the email field at first, then add the password field afterwards. This also sometimes makes it not being detected as a login form.
Sometimes a password field is detected only on the first filling in (which is annoying when choosing the wrong entry).
On desktop it’s great, but I really don’t know why some apps have to do custom login screens.
Forget all the password managers, just make all your passwords the same thing. You can use your middle name and your phone number, maybe throw a # in there to make it super secure.
Imagine it gets fixed but only in Google Autofill and not Android auto fill
That’s one thing I do like about iOS, there’s a secrets manager API and you can use their default keychain, or a 3rd party app like bitwarden and they all interface the same.
Dunno whats the issue.
I use bitwarden and it was a bit inconsistent with gboard.
Currently using Futo keyboard and I get a convenient bitwarden widget/shortcut in my keyboard quick access bar (dunno what they call it).
Just in some situations it doesnt auto-pop up and it doesnt ask if I want to save a password on Android (Version 14 - Pixel 7 Pro)
Trying Futo now, but I can’t find the Bitwarden thing you mention. Any setting I have to enable?
