Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Bitwarden on my Android phone for a while, and lately, I’ve noticed that the autofill feature takes a few seconds to appear in certain apps. Most of the time, it works fine, but sometimes there is a frustrating delay before the credentials pop up.
I’ve already tried enabling both the accessibility autofill and the regular autofill settings to see if it makes a difference. I also cleared the app cache and even reinstalled Bitwarden, but the issue still happens occasionally. I checked my battery optimization settings to make sure the app isn’t being restricted in the background, but that didn’t seem to help either.
Thanks!

You said you that the problem pertained only to specific apps, and happened only some of the time. You also seemed to have tried the different steps that people would have tried to fix it, without effects. Here are some more ideas (shots in the dark):
- Try turning off “Use inline autofill” to see if the overlay method is more reliable.
- Since “inline autofill” depends on the IME capability, try a different keyboard (Gboard, Swiftkey)
- The “accessibility” option basically allows you to use the quick tile to autofill. Did you try the quick tile when the inline autofill didn’t popup?
