Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to any login page with Opera mobile.
  2. Click on the username/email field.

Expected Result

To see an Autofill prompt.

Actual Result

No autofill prompt is shown.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

I have noticed two things and also a found workaround to enable autofill on opera mobile.

My autofill service settings:

  • When I go to a login page, the autofill popup does not show up. But if I open my notification bar and close it, the bitwarden icon shows up and offers to select credentials from the currently active URL. Here you can see, the URL is empty or --. That's why the autofill popup does not appear as Bitwarden is receiving an empty URL from the browser.

  • If I click the login field and then open the browser URL tab, bitwarden can match the correct URL and offers suggestions. You have to try 2-3 times sometimes.

I understand it's an old issue and probably opera is not broadcasting the current active URL to android's autofill service. But hoping the additional info can help others to solve it.
