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

    I dunno, I use Bitwarden and Firefox on Android so pretty none mainstream and don’t have any of the issues this clown does. Seems like a click bait article for the sake of it.

      Yeah, I had this sort of experience back with LastPass, but Bitwarden works beautifully for me.

      There’s a potentially valid criticism if that occurs because iOS’s mechanism is robust to poorly implemented password managers and Android’s isn’t, but that’s also not the criticism being provided here.

      Agreed… depending on Google to implement or fix very specific features is just shouting into the void. Use a trusted 3rd party app like Bitwarden, as you mentioned

    I mean in their defense, apps really ought to have “normal” log-in screens. Providers working around that feels like a bandaid instead of a fix.

    That’s one thing I do like about iOS, there’s a secrets manager API and you can use their default keychain, or a 3rd party app like bitwarden and they all interface the same.

    Forget all the password managers, just make all your passwords the same thing. You can use your middle name and your phone number, maybe throw a # in there to make it super secure.
