Why does Chrome on Android not work seamlessly with Bitwarden?

Hi all

My wife and i just moved from google passowrd manager to Bitwarden.

But damn it is not as seamless as google PW manager.

I have an example

imdb.com

When i click signin and with imdb account bitwarden dosnet show up? I have enabled all autofill options i can on my Samsung S24.

Then i go into bitwarden and find my imdb login credentials. The uri is www.imdb.com.
I can see that the uri to sign in starts with https://m.imdb.com.

I tryed diffrent match settings but it dosent show the bitwarden login?

What can i try? My wife is mad :smiley:

I also have thees 2 sites
1: Tabulex a old site for my kids SFO. When i click the saved credentials it dosent autofill it.

2: A chrome webclip for my Unraid server. Cant get bitwarden to show?

This is just crap :frowning:

And YES i have enabled all autofill options on my S24. And Bitwarden is default pw manager.
I tryed reinstall bitwarden.

It works perfect on Chrome on my pc.

EDIT: Okay??
If i enable this to “Another service” then it dosent work? Only if i select the “Autofill with google” That makes no sense to me?

What can i do?? Thanks!

@DanielT Short first response:

  1. @dwbit posted a nice overview about Android autofill issues a few days ago: Recreate the old "Pop-up box" to enable android work profile auto-fill - #4 by dwbit

  2. Your title indicates it works now seamlessly?! I guess you meant “not seamless”?! :thinking:

Ahh yes sorry! meant that it does NOT working semaless :slight_smile:

Cool i will check the link :slight_smile:

No problem. I changed it in the title now. :man_raising_hand:

Ah thanks!

But the chrome options dosent make sense? About autofill.

I will say it’s been many, many months ever since the redesign that autofill has never worked for the Brave Browser no matter what is checked, no matter the reinstalling, no matter if it was the beta app or not. Thought it seems to work for non browser applications.

What do you mean exactly?

In the latest version of the mobile app (2025.5.0) I indeed have an option in Settings → Autofill which seems to be relatively new (and I think, the browsers changed something here on Android - and that is a reaction to that):

If you meant something else, please clarify.

@AE720 I see a similar development (Brave 3rd party autofill by david-livefront · Pull Request #5400 · bitwarden/android · GitHub) to what I just mentioned for Brave. That might improve autofill again?!

HI :slight_smile:
I mean this


If i select “Autofill with help from another service” it breaks. I get no login autofill in chrome.

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that language - can you give a hint, where “this” can be found?

Yes off course :slight_smile: Sorry about that :slight_smile:
When you hit “Use Chrome autofill integration” you get 2 options Google pw manager or another.
I selected with another service and then all breaks :frowning:

Ah. – Hm, I don’t have experience with these new settings myself… it sounds like “Autofill with another service” should be right. :thinking: But for that to work, in Android Settings → Passwords, Passkeys and Accounts, Bitwarden has to be chosen as an “Autofill service”. Is that the case with your Android phone?

I have chosen Bitwarden as the preferred service for that.

It is a Samsung S24 Ultra.

Hm, maybe @dwbit can clarify those new Android settings?!

(I only have an Android 14 device, which doesn’t even have third-party passkey support yet, so that might not be comparable to a S24 on Android 15…)

Hey all, I believe I replied to the same post on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1lg2wt3/just_before_my_wife_and_i_ditch_bitwarden_help/

I’m able to successfully autofill on IMDB using all the autofill methods, but please contact the official support team if you’re experiencing otherwise so they can look into it further: Help Center | Bitwarden

Oh. I didn’t see that one. :sweat_smile:

Assuming "Daniel-PT (Reddit) and @DanielT are the same person: on Reddit, your original post says “Edit: Solved” - so, could you share the solution?

@dwbit Could you say something to this new option in the Android mobile app:

?

… and if you choose that option, I think Android/Chrome asks if you want to 1. use autofill with Google/Chrome or 2. use autofill with another service. (very likely, option 2 should be chosen, right? → PS: I guess that’s what is meant by “enable third-party autofill” in the info text of the Android app)

(I think, this option wasn’t even visible in your new video about Android autofill :thinking:)

Off course :slight_smile:
I just disabled the Chrome autofill integration.

The Bitwarden support team (Very fast to answer by the way :slight_smile: ) has confirmed that there is a issue with Android 15 :slight_smile:

:hushed_face:

Okay, so for now, that new “Chrome autofill integration” option seems to even make things worse on Android 15 then? Interesting.

Thanks for the (temporary) solution!

I’m on version 2025.5.0. This option does not exist for me
Autofill Services - Enabled
Use inline autofill - Enabled
Use accessibility
Copy TOTP automatically

I don’t know what on earth they are doing to where two apps on the same version get different experiences without a notice to why if it’s necessary.

I’m having the same problems. No Bitwarden popup (Chrome on Android) S24U with latest updates. Tried all the options i can find, nothing solves it.
