Autofill doesn't work in Brave but in Chrome on the same device

Thanks for following up with me, jonashilmersson. This may be an issue with how Autofill is implemented in Chromium, and I've reported it to our development to look into. ref: dev/android/onepassword-android#841

It doesn't work if I change to only use Autofill instead. I have the latest version of both Brave and 1Password from what I can see.

Thanks for checking that, jonashilmersson. Ideally, you would be able to fill with Autofill on your device. Were you able to fill in Chrome and Brave with just Autofill enabled? Also, do you have the latest versions of Brave and 1Password installed at this point?

Hi,

Now I've played around a little and it seems like it works if I disable Autofill and enable Accessibility. Both Brave and Chrome works (Auto sign-in and Save password disabled), and also apps like Spotify and others. One that doesn't work is ViewClix (https://viewclix.com/) which only fills the user name, not the password.

jonashilmersson Can you let us know what keyboard you're using on your device? Also, go to Brave's settings, then tap Passwords, and make sure Auto Sign-in is disabled as well as Save passwords.

Finally, try turning off Autofill and Accessibility one at a time, in 1Password's settings. Check if you're able to fill with just one of those options enabled.

Hi,

I've tried the beta and the behavior is the same. I need close Brave to get the prompt to open 1Password and get the Autofill values. I turned off the preview as requested.

Hi @landale thanks for clarifying that! I understand what you mean and I'm glad to hear 7.9.2 Beta 1 has helped resolve that issue.

jonashilmersson Thanks for checking that. I'd like to ask you to update to the beta and turn inline Autofill off as landale suggested.
* Use 1Password beta releases

After updating you can open and unlock 1Password, tap Settings > Autofill and turn Display Autofill suggestion inline off. With that setting off is Autofill in Brave more consistent?

Hi 1P_Timothy,

I already disabled password saving in Brave and also don't have any saved password there anymore.

It usually starts to work if I close the Brave browser and then start it again which loads the web page again, and then manually reload the page once more. Then the Autofill from 1Password kicks in, not before.

1P_Timothy I believe the issue is how Brave works with Android's inline autofill. There are bug reports about this on the Brave support site going back all the way to 2019 and not just with 1Password but with Bitwarden as well. Other browsers such as Chrome and Vivaldi do not have the same issues so I agree this isn't an issue with 1Password as much as 1Password made it an issue when it forced the use of inline autofill with 7.9.1. Thankfully 7.9.2 brings back the dropdown option which not only works better with Brave but works better on tablets when using a physical keyboard.

Hi @landale thanks for letting us know the new option in the beta helped! If switching to the dropdown menu allowed you to consistently fill in Brave it would suggest to me there is an issue with the keyboard's suggestion strip.

Hello jonashilmersson thanks for giving that a try.

I'd like to ask you to try turning password saving off in Brave: open brave > ⋮ > Passwords > Save Passwords off. Additionally, do you have the login for the website you tested listed under saved passwords in Brave passwords settings? If so, make sure you have that login information saved in 1Password then try deleting it from the list in Brave. With password saving off and the login removed from the saved password list in Brave do you see any change in behavior?
