Android has had an autofill feature for password managers for years now, but it’s broken and needs to be fixed.

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.

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?

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.

I mean in their defense, apps really ought to have “normal” log-in screens. Providers working around that feels like a bandaid instead of a fix.
