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

    Yeah, I agree using Bitwarden in Android can be a mess, but I find it works pretty well with Firefox, now that I mention it, why do people get the Bitwarden extension if the app already works well?

    I have access to an iOS device (girlfriend's) and I see it works well and I have never heard her complaining...

    It’s better on android than Apple. The biggest problem on Android seems to be sites not following standards in identifying their fields which breaks autofill.

    On iPhone this same problem exists, but you also have to deal with iCloud sporadically taking over and messing up the workflow, adding fun new ways for it to fail.

    Autofill is total shit I agree, but I've been copying and pasting from my password manager for over a decade and it's been fine. I get that autofill would be much less friction, but I really don't mind copying and pasting.

    Why Google allows apps to block a system service from inputting information is beyond my understanding, but it’s absolutely infuriating, and just discourages the use of these tools.

    This is the really annoying bit
