5 years agoAutofill on Android 12 doesn't seem to work
I just got a Pixel 6 Pro and have 1Password set up. 1Password is my autofill service.
When I add a new Google account, I long-press on the password entry widget and select "Autofill" from the bubble that comes up, but nothing happens.
I've tried turning off autofill in 1Password and turning it back on, but still nothing. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!
1Password Version: 7.9
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: 12

Use Gboard beta and the autofill strip 'returns'...see here:

Hello @irkannan1985 thanks for letting us know.
If you're using Gboard do you notice any difference switching to SwiftKey or another on-screen keyboard? If you long press a login field and tap auto-fill or three dot menu > auto-fill does a prompt from 1Password appear? If you turn Autofill off while leaving Accessibility on from Settings > Autofill do you notice any change in behavior?

Thanks for confirming those details @bouncetodrum.

I'm not subscribed to any betas, and I believe I'm on the latest version available on the play store. The app's 'about' section says Version 7.9, and the App info panel also says 7.9. No more detailed version info that I can see.

@bouncetodrum do you happen to be using 1Password 7.9.1.BETA-2 on your Android device? There is a bug in that version of the beta that causes some issues with filling into WebViews within apps. I ask because one of my colleagues has informed me that the Fred Meyer app uses a WebView for sign-in.

Using the swiftkey keyboard gives me the same behavior on the apps I tested. The Fred Meyer app also seems to allow for 1password autofill for the password field, but not the username field, just like the gboard.

@lamename from the other thread, it seems like you were able to get Dropbox sync working with @peri's suggestion. I'm glad to hear that you're back up and running again. :smile:
@tisbutascratch we've been investigating this on our end and we're also finding that the issue does seem to be specific to apps that separate the username and login fields onto separate screens. In our testing, we've found that this issue seems to be specific to the inline suggestions shown in Gboard. If you a different keyboard that supports inline suggestions, such as SwiftKey, or if you use a keyboard that doesn't support inline suggestions, then 1Password's Autofill results show up as expected. We're going to report this to Google as it's likely an issue introduced in a recent Gboard update.
@jheuristic @bouncetodrum could you also try an alternate keyboard such as SwiftKey to see if you find that Autofill works as expected in that case?
@bouncetodrum the accessibility shortcut is something new that was added to Android 12. It merely enables or disables an accessibility service, but it doesn't actually invoke any functionality. Unfortunately, after updating to Android 12, the shortcut seems to be turned on by default, which is confusing because it makes it look like it's a 1Password feature. My recommendation for most people is to turn the shortcut off in the accessibility settings on your device, unless you really want to be able to enable/disable the 1Password accessibility service on the fly.

I'm also experiencing this problem.
Example apps that don't allow autofill, and I can't find a way to input my logins without slowly switching between apps, copying the login/password separately and pasting one at a time:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fredmeyer.mobile&hl=en_US&gl=US - The 'email address' field. The password field does seem to work with keyboard autofill

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visiblemobile.flagship&hl=en_US&gl=USEven the accessibility shortcut doesn't seem to work (press both volume keys) (settings menu image: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uyU7QJejcKcNsyAL6 )
