Hey @samstill I can't reproduce this on my Android device, is your device set to English or another language? I've seen some cases where non-english versions of some websites such as Twitter do not have fields configured properly on the website.

I don't understand the actions of Bitwarden employees. I see a lot of easily replicable issues being posted here, yet it seems like they are either ignoring them or are not capable of addressing them. I think they should consider finding other jobs. Additionally, there are a lot of old posts on this forum that have yet to be addressed. Furthermore, the video demonstrates an issue where the auto-fill feature fills in the password instead of the username. Also, I have multiple Google accounts and I am unable to swipe to the right, instead I have to click on the very edge of it.
