Ongoing Autofill Issues on Android

Hi,

I've been a long-time user of 1Password, and up until recently, the experience has been excellent.

However, for the past few months, the Android experience has significantly deteriorated. Autofill suggestions rarely appear, and when they do, they often fail to work as expected.

Most of the time, I have to long-press the input field, select “Autocomplete,” and hope the suggestions show up—which they usually don’t. Even when suggestions do appear, tapping them often results in no action at all. I frequently have to force close Chrome and reopen it just to try again, usually without success.

As a result, I now almost always end up copying each field manually from the 1Password app, which is extremely frustrating.

I’ve tested this with two different keyboards. My primary keyboard is SwiftKey, where the suggestions fail to appear 90% of the time. Gboard performs slightly better, but even then, tapping suggestions often does nothing.

This issue has persisted for months, and it's becoming a serious pain point. I'm honestly beginning to question the value of maintaining a paid subscription if such core functionality continues to be this unreliable.

Please look into this—it really needs to be addressed.

Thanks.

Do we have an update for a permanent fix on this issue?

I’m sorry that you’re running into an issue where 1Password doesn’t fill your login credentials in Chrome when you tap on the autofill suggestion. Our development team believes that it may be due to an issue with how the browser keeps track of autofill sessions when it’s been running for an extended period of time. We’ve reported the issue to the Chromium team.

You should be able to workaround the issue, when it occurs, by force closing your browser and then re-opening it again: Find, open & close apps on Android - Android Help

Hi,

I'm suffering the same issues as described here.For me if say the problem started when I upgraded my Pixel 6 to Android 16 (which includes a Chrome update). Since then I can open 1Password to do the auto-fill, select the entry I want to use and confirm it is really the case but nothing filled and I have a copy/paste manually. It is really painful....

Hi,

I discover the same issue. I'm using Google Pixel 8 Pro with Android 16. Sometimes autofill is available, sometimes not. Sometimes even it is available, it does not fill when selecting. I always have to close browser or App completely and start it again.

I really like 1password but this makes it somehow unusable. When it isn't fixed till the end of the year I may search for other options. Sorry.

@weko I know it is frustrating, but this is not a 1password issue - it is a Chrome issue. They changed the way they handled autofill (which did require an update from 1password) but what was released in Chrome was broken.

The good news is that you can enable a fix in the latest version of Chrome by going to chrome://flags and enabling #autofill-update-context-for-web-contents

There were other things to update when 1password released their chnages so make sure you have done that or post here if you still have issues.

For reference, the chromium bug on this: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/439553272

And another forum post with more discussion: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/autofill-not-working-on-chrome-in-android/162072/replies/163553

Thx. I'm still testing but at the moment everything works as expected. Will double check with my apps.

Hello folks,

Google Chrome is currently testing a fix for an issue that prevented 1Password (and other password managers) from working consistently. Can you follow these steps:

Update Chrome to version 141 or later: Update Google Chrome
Open Chrome.
Type chrome://flags into your address bar and open this page.
Search for Android autofill in the search box at the top of the flags page.
Tap the drop down below Android autofill updates context for WebContents (#autofill-update-context-for-web-contents), then tap Enabled
Tap the Relaunch button within the prompt at the bottom of the page

The same steps apply to Brave. If autofill still isn't working correctly after trying these steps then please reply to this comment with the following information:

Where are you seeing the autofill issue?
- If in an app then which app?
- If in a browser then which browser and on which specific website?
The version of the app or browser where you're seeing the issue.
The version of Android that you're using. And the brand/model of Android device.
The version of 1Password that you're using.

This will allow me to see if you're running into an active and known issue.
