Important Android Autofill Updates

@dwbit I wanted to give the Help Sites some time, but just FYI, they still instruct to set the flags for Chrome/Chromium-browsers. :warning:

Passed along to the team, thanks for flagging!

Latest version still seems to quite often be broken for Outlook app login autofill too - shame as always password plus 2FA code needed. Used to work fine a couple of months ago.

Hi there, if you’re seeing an issue just for a specific app/website, you can share the detail here for the team to review.

Hi @dwbit yep I know, I’ve filled out that form a few times - however there’s clearly a much more widespread problem recently with lots of sites/apps only working intermittently having previously worked fine. I’ll report this one since you’ve asked me to but I don’t see the point in doing a form for each one when they worked fine before and this seems to be a more general problem?

@metaphase the team is still reviewing edge cases, if you want to submit more detailed data for the team to review, you can also enable flight recorder Troubleshoot Mobile with Bitwarden Support | Bitwarden attempt autofill actions, and share with the support team at: Help Center | Bitwarden

OK I’ve enabled it for a week and will send it through after that.

I’m also having some issues (I did notice this on cloudflare.com as well). Restarting Autofill services, I can see the login suggestions in the keyboard pane, but tapping on them does not autofill them onto the page in the Brave browser on Android. It does copy the 2FA code if present, though.

Hey @favor can you confirm what Bitwarden version you are on?

What is your Android OS version?

Can you confirm if you completed all 3 steps here?

  • Disable and reenable the toggles for ‘Autofill services’ (choose Bitwarden)
  • Disable and reenable the toggles for 'Chrome autofill integration’ (choose other services)
  • Restart your mobile browser.

Version 2025.8.1 (20670), Android version 15. I tried each of those steps twice.

@favor I just tried to reproduce. I can autofill without any problems on cloudflare.com / Cloudflare dashboard. Tried it with Vivaldi, Brave and Firefox. I’m also on Android 15.

Maybe here are some hints why it may not work on your device:

on the Samsung Android of my wife this helped:

1- Settings
2- Apps
3- Google Chrome
4- set Autofill to other services (it automatically reboots Chrome browser)

Am i correct the accessibility service autofill functionality has changed?

It used to show a pop up on every single login field (autofill service disabled in bitwarden, only accessibility service enabled), and now it’s not reliable at all (either option) and i need to use quick panel shortcut to actually fill anything with bw without copy pasting

Which mobile browser are you using? – If you can’t fill anything, then that’s indeed not as it should be. Do you have one or two harmless sites to try to reproduce?

Also this might be helpful:

Hi everyone, if you’re still experiencing autofill issues after following the steps in the post above, you can test out a proposed upstream fix by visiting chrome://flags in Chrome BETA version 141, and enabling the flag for #autofill-update-context-for-web-contents

That flag seems to be only available in Chrome 141 (Beta) - and not in the current Chrome 140.

Thanks @Nail1684 I’ll update the note.

Hey, this does mean it will be fixed with browser updates (as it’s not a thing of the BW mobile app itself), right? :thinking:

Yes, that is at the Chromium level (not Bitwarden).

I’ve done what the top post recommends, yet it won’t work in seemingly any app now. I’m on 2025.9.1?
