Apps that don't work with Autofill
New user, testing out 1Password....I understand that 1Password doesn't support accessibility on Android. This is a challenge because too many apps have terrible logins that don't play well with autofill. What are the options other than copy/paste or split screen for these apps that would normally work with accessibility since that isn't an options? Here are some examples of some notorious apps that stick out. I use Gboard if that makes a difference. This is a bit of a make/break situation for me with 1Password.

Not sure if this fits in but there are multiple apps where the username is already filled in; 1Password does not give any option to fill in just the password. I have also seem some sites that fill just the username then go to another screen where the password is filled in; have not tested this but going to assume this may not work either. These did work seamlessly in Lastpass.

Chownow, and any app that uses Chownow for its login credentials, does not work with 1P autofill. The Chownow website works, but whatever API or coding they've provided to developers to embed the login screen for Chownow credentials in apps (like Sardis) does not trigger 1P autofill.
Examples:

Hi hasmat, @ralfroam, @CatchyUserName, thanks for writing in and sharing your thoughts.
hasmat, when Autofill isn't supported you can copy and paste or use split screen mode to drag and drop your credentials, Drag and drop with split screen mode.
I tested the apps you mentioned with Autofill and an Accessibility based filling service. I could fill the username field with the Accessibility service in AloSIM but found I could not fill with Autofill or Accessibility in the other apps. I've reported these to our development team for further review.
@ralfoam, 1Password for Android can fill and save Logins in most apps and websites. Filling on Android devices can be tricky because there are a lot of factors at play. Some apps and websites don't provide enough contextual clues or flat out interfere with filling. There are device and software specific issues such as keyboards not displaying prompts as expected. There are also some circumstances where 1Password may not detect a sign-inform so it does not prompt to fill.
If you come across any websites or apps where 1Password isn't filling as expected, just let us know and we would be happy to help out!
I will also note that saving a new Login with the Autofill service on an Android device may work a little differently than what you're used to. Instead of typing in your credentials and saving them after the fact, you can tap the "Open 1Password" prompt, create a new Login in the menu that opens then proceed with filling and signing in from there.
@CatchyUserName, thanks very much for including this feedback. I can certainly understand why this may give you some pause.
Have you come across any apps or websites where 1Password isn't filling as expected? If so, I'd be happy to take a look and report any issues to the team.

Same for me. LastPass wasn't 100% reliable with the Accessibility function, but it did cover more apps than 1Password. I'm looking to move my family away from LP, and that's going to be a challenge because of this, unfortunately.

I am a new user as well looking for a LastPass alternative. LastPass was capable of capturing new APP logins and performed autofill, seamlessly. Is this not the case with 1Password for Android? If it is not, I will need to find a capable alternative.
