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

Yeah, it's really a mystery to me how this can be so inconsistent across providers. With one app I have to click a separate button/dropdown-thingy and another fills the username and password in directly.

And on top of that Google's own password manager which I had deactivated managed to weasel itself into the foreground on my kid's phone. It was a pain to deactivate it again.

Never had that happen actually

No idea how it happened. I think when my wife created an account for something on there it asked to save it. And since then it intercepted every password request.

Which app do you use? In my case it's KeePass2Android (for Webdav/Nextcloud support)

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 3 weeks ago

Nextcloud Passwords. It works more or less like yours. Just one of the other Nextcloud Password apps didn't. Only after I switched did I realise that it could be different.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For me I just have to click on the entry, if the KeePass DB is unlocked. Otherwise I click on the "KeePass2Android" entry, it opens the app, I unlock it and it either autofills or I just then finally click the entry.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 3 weeks ago

As it should be. But for some inane reason it works differently for other apps.
