It's so unfortunate that Firefox on Android, for some reason, never worked well with password managers (as I understand it, it doesn't support the APIs that Android has for them). Sometimes it'll trigger the manager, more often, it won't. Infuriating and a deal breaker for me.
I'll give it another go, maybe this has been improved recently.
Edit gave it another crack, gosh, it actually works now!
i rarely have any issues with bitwarden. give it another crack!
I have to agree. Works better than on Chrome, IMHO.
I had to use the accessibility features of bitwarden to get it to run, but they improved and on many web pages you can now auto fill passwords from the keyboard integration
I use Firefox both on mobile and on desktop with Bitwarden for myself and LastPass for work, both work with very little problems
I use bitwarden and it works quite well there, the most annoying part are websites that split login and password prompts so that you have to use fill-in feature twice
I use the firefox password manager personally. Not sure if that makes me an idiot or not but it works well and I trust mozilla.
It doesn't make you an idiot. It is a free service that offers every service a premium password manager does. The real idiots are the people paying mothly for the same thing...
How do you mean?
I click into a password field, I get a "Fill with KeepassDX"-button above the keyboard, I press that, unlock the database, I'm done and it autofills. You just need to select the Keepass-app of your choice as the password-autofill app in the Android settings, but that's independent of your browser choice anyways.
Works great here with KeePass2Android on Android 12. If for some reason automatic filling doesn't work switching to the KP2A Keyboard and filling the username and password takes about 5 seconds.
Works fine with 1Password also, although the experience can somewhat clunky (I use Mull, not Firefox). Planning to migrate to KeePassDX soon, so I'm glad to hear that it should still work.
Same than others, I just use Firefox in dekstop and mobile with Bitwarden and it works fantastic.
