Password suggestions take a lot to appear
For a few days, I don't get any suggestions to fill passwords in Android.
If I disable autofill and enable it again it works for a few minutes and then stops.
If I go over the user and password...

3 years agoHi jkane001, @niskala, thanks for following up with us here.
From our investigation into reports of this sort of behavior we believe it may be related to changes in Autofill that have caused a slight delay in the filling response, or that browsers that rely on Autofill compatibility are not restarting the Autofill service in some cases once it is stopped.
After switching focus and returning to a sign in field as Jkane001 suggested, some of the Autofill data is preloaded which could be enough to prevent the Autofill call from timing out and being cancelled by the system. If that's the case, reducing what's loaded by disabling Autofill suggestions from Settings > Autofill may also help.
We've also heard reports of improved behavior in browsers that do not use Autofill compatibility such as Firefox or DuckDuckGo. Switching to one of those browsers for the time being may help with consistent filling as well.
Let us know if you have any questions or if we can help with anything.
