Enable Vivaldi Password Manager as System Password / Autofill Manager on Android
After switching from Chrome to Vivaldi on all devices and after changing a few passwords in Vivaldi those services can't be signed into on mobile without first updating the system password manager, Google's by default.
Android has support for changing the default system password manager so we can eliminate the duplication of effort with password updates. As far as I can tell this can be done as a standalone app OR bundled into the browser itself. I've attached screenshots of where to change a default browser and attached links to documentation from Google on adding the feature to an app.
Here's the developer page detailing implementation:

+1!!!!! Also on iOS too, you can select passwords from Chrome anywhere in iOS, but not from Vivaldi!

@ledlamp You are not.

@iqaluit what do u mean? was this added recently? I think I didnt realize u have to go in settings and pick one to use

@ledlamp I have no clue what the issue is.
I was literally referring to what you said for yourself -
I really want to change to Vivaldi as my default and only browser but integration with Android auto-fill service is the only missing quality of life feature that I need before switch.

I have the same issue on Android. Is that a matter of some setting of mine, or chromium-based password managers cannot replace the Android/chrome one?
