OS: Android 9 PPR1.180610.011
Device: SM-G960W (Galaxy S9, Snapdragon)
Browser: Chrome & Brave, Chromium 78.0.3904.62
Bitwarden: 2.2.6
Auto-fill Service: Enabled

Android's native auto-fill service for Bitwarden does NOT work with Chromium 78.0.3904.62 on Galaxy S9 on Android 9.

The issue can be remedied by enabling the auto-fill ACCESSIBILITY service. With the accessibility service enabled, both the native auto-fill AND the accessibility service auto-fill work properly with Chromium 78.0.3904.62.

The issue does not seem to be present in a) other non-browser apps, b) firefox, and c) Essential Phone.

Other password managers (e.g. LastPass) work properly on the S9.

Thanks!

Browser: Microsoft Edge (Opera, Vivaldi)
Bitwarden: 2.2.6 (2112)

Exact same issue on Galaxy Note10 running Android 9.

The native auto-fill service does not work anymore in any Chromium-based browser, but works fine in other apps and Firefox (including Firefox Preview).

Thanks!

Chiming in from Nokia 3.1.
Autofill service does not function with Edge or Vivaldi browser.
BTW, DuckDuckGo browser does work.

Beta version: 2.3.1 (2380)
Nokia 3.1 (Android 9)
Autofill service: on
Accessibility service: off
URL matching: base domain

With accessibility service on everything works just fine, but we want the proper autofill service to function as well, don't we?
