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. Autof...

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: 

  1. Update Chrome to version 141 or later: Update Google Chrome
  2. Open Chrome.
  3. Type chrome://flags into your address bar and open this page.
  4. Search for Android autofill in the search box at the top of the flags page.
  5. Tap the drop down below Android autofill updates context for WebContents (#autofill-update-context-for-web-contents), then tap Enabled
  6. 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.

Hi I still have the same issue, it seems to be fixed in chrome (but there is a long latency to get the 1passwd proposed). Unfortunatlely it is still not working for Android application login.

    I'm sorry that you're still seeing issues. The issue being discussed in this thread affects browsers like Chrome and Brave but not other Android apps. It sounds like you might be running into a different issue with those apps. You did write: 

    there is a long latency to get the 1passwd proposed

    Do you mean that it takes a while for the 1Password login suggestion to appear above your keyboard? Can you tell me what how long it takes (approximately) and what kind of Android device you're using?

      Hi Dave,

      I am using a motorola thinkphone 25 with OS updated. In chrome sometimes it takes around 10sec, sometimes it does not appear. Same in applications, but it doesn't appear more often. I am also user of iOS and there is no issue at all.
