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

    Apple does better than the Android experience described in the article, but it also isn’t perfect. There are apps that don’t recognize that you need a password and are difficult to trigger the autofill (especially with a third party manager), and on very rare occasion it fails in the browser, too. It handles multi-page passwords just fine though.

    Not trying to measure dicks or whatever, just giving a point of comparison. Without investigating, I wonder if some sites/apps don’t correctly indicate to the browser/OS that they’re passwords and what they’re for. I haven’t had real issues on my Android reader with proton pass, though that isn’t a huge set of apps I use.

      Can’t change the default match pattern that iOS uses or add apps to the URI match in Bitwarden iOS. Makes for a few extra clicks on some apps and sites.
