Hi jmjm,

The difference in the behaviour of autofill between 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 for Android can be due to 1Password 7 for Android also having an accessibility filling option instead of only autofill filling which makes use of the native Android autofill service.

The reason accessibility filling was removed from 1Password 8 for Android is due to Autofill features available on devices running Android 9 being capable of delivering the same or better features than Accessibility-based filling with less impact on performance and battery life.

I'd first suggest changing the Display Autofill Prompts option from "Above supported keyboards" to "Below the fields they relate to" to see if this results in any change or improvement in 1Password autofill.

I hope this helps
