    Hi all,

    We've updated the instructions today (August 7, 2025) based on feedback we've received here and elsewhere to try and take into account folks setting up 1Password autofill on a new device and for folks who have already been using 1Password. We'll keep making updates if you have additional feedback! 

    Update on September 3, 2025:
    Some users are still seeing autofill issues in Android. We're working with our friends at Google to troubleshoot this. Google is aware of the issue and the fix is expected to arrive in beta versions of Chrome in September. For the more technically-minded folks, you can track progress here.

patrick​, thanks for sharing the news.  Sounds like a win for Chromium-based browsers, but does this have any impact on Firefox on Android?  Autofill there has been hit or miss for me (unlike on Windows, where it usually works).  I don't know if that's been due to a problem with Firefox, 1Password, Gboard, or some other Android component.  I usually have to open the 1Password app manually, search for the site, then copy and paste between apps.

That said, just now I was able to log in to 1Password Community in Firefox on Android 16 using autofill (got the button at the top of the keyboard).  This was from the link in the 1Password 8.11.4 release notes.  However, after logging in, I got "Access Denied" and was punted to the home page.  (The redirect to this thread works fine for me on the desktop, where I wasn't immediately forced to log in.)
