Hello conspiracyx​! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! Chrome 135 was scheduled to introduce a setting within Chrome to allow users to enable native autofill in Chrome rather than the existing "Autofill Compatibility Mode" feature. More information on this can be found on the Google Developers Blog here.

The Autofill on Chrome message that you saw in 1Password was meant to allow users to enable this new functionality. However, although the new setting is available in Chrome Beta and Canary, it’s not yet enabled in Chrome stable. As a result, we've turned this message off in the 1Password for Android app until there's confirmation that native autofill is available in the stable version of Chrome for Android. 

For the moment, you can continue to use Autofill compatibility mode. Follow these steps: Set up Autofill

Let me know if you run into any issues.
