No support for password Android Autofill API? (3.0, Enpass)

[willitbewrong]

This has become absolutely ridiculous. I've been using a mix of Brave and Firefox, and they work great. Highly recommend both of them of you want a browser that works.

Hello @Gwen-Dragon

Do you have any updates on this Android issue please?

It seems something has been released a few months ago, but it doesn't solve properly the issue for many people (including me with Dashlane).

What is the status?

Thank you for your help!

@Gwen-Dragon Why is it that hard? That's very strange. I am kinda stuck on chrome because of that (I use 1Password)

Do not ask me, i am not a Google or Vivaldi developer.

Oh Ok, since u are moderator I thought you knew why is that. Literally I can't figure out why they are not implementing the Autofill API. And also 1Password doesn't want either on "legacy" mode that they used to have before autofill

Hi,

Do you save them then in V? (With exceptions)

You could Import them to the Desktop version, enable Sync and will be on the rest of Sync'ed Devices.

For those more sensitive, use the External PassManager despite the Extra Steps.

that's not a very handy solution. If you use a paid password manager, you don't want to use another not-so-synced password manager (because with every changed password, you have to alter and sync the other ones too), wether it's the internal one or a third application (a third one, really??)

I know, that the problem is (or was) with an "activation" of vivaldi from google side, but I don't find the right thread

Well,
If you changes the Passwords and / or add new ones so often it's cumbersome.
The V Sync it's so comfortable, even more for devices without keyboard like Android Tvs.

The flow here it's:

• Added to V the most common Passwords through .CSV Import
  +
• KeePass
  • Drop Box ♺
    • CKP Browser Extension
    • KeePass2Android Android App

Any added to V is Exported periodically or added manually within few days.
Also, here isn't common to change them often.

But off course, it's better also to be able to communicate with any PassManager fluidly.

I can't use Bitwarden, i'm forced to use the draw over / old method which is slightly clunky, but at least it works with Vivaldi. Would be nice to have the autofill API added to the Android app

Vivaldi VAB-563 only works in Yahoo and Google for me using Enpass on LineageOS 17.1, Android 10.

For me it's working fine. I tried eBay and Facebook and it works very well. I'm using Keepass2Android.

The Password manager Enpass now works in Vivaldi for Android 4.0

Thank you for your hard work and continue improving.
