Hi there,

I am unable to reproduce this issue, it has been escalated for further investigation. If you have more information that can help us, please add it below.

Could you confirm the version of iOS you have installed, and if all websites appear to be affected?

Thanks!

Experiencing the same problem as everyone else in this issue. It started happening after installing the latest update (v2024.4.2). I'm on an iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.4.1. I'm currently using the Argon2id KDF algorithm with 4 KDF iterations and 48 MB KDF memory. KDF parallelism is set to 4. These were the recommended settings mentioned in this reddit thread.

So with this morning's update (Version 2024.5.1) the bugs seemed to have been fixed.

I've just retested with the applications I'm 100% sure didn't work 2 days ago, and now I've got no worries, it's back to the way it was before.

Maybe update iOS to 17.5 ? an update appear today.

I am on 17.5, but what's weird is that AppStore says my app is up to date but the app version was 2024.4.2. When I force killed it and went back to AppStore it prompted an update. So far this seems to be good.

Yes, it is still present on Version: 2024.5.1 (7674)
iOS: 17.5
iPhone 12

by re-enable autofill in iOS Settings it’s working again only 2FA Code isn’t copied into clipboard. Has been done manually until now…

Same here.
Cannot autofill username and password.
Tapping on the button nothing happens like the video above.

iPhone 7
iOS 15.8.2
Bitwarden App version 2024.5.1 (7674).

EDIT:
Here is a "temporary" fix that worked for me: Tapped in "Settings" > "Passwords" > "AutoFill Passwords" > turned the "AutoFill Passwords" feature off and on again, checked only Bitwarden on the list and then hard restarted the iPhone. It started working again, but somewhat bugged: the email autofill only appears if I click on the key icon that appears above the keyboard, and this makes it open Bitwarden and list the site's credential. Before, the shortcut to Bitwarden would appear without needing to click on the key and it would automatically select the credential.

Was this flow (long press > autofill) working in a previous version of the Bitwarden app?

I am not sure. I could try different password provider apps and see if any provide this flow. Any suggestions?

I don't believe this is expected to work for any third party password providers, so I was surprised to see it mentioned.

I'm having issues on one of the devices I was using. iPhone 12 using iOS 17.5.1. Gives the KDF memory error when trying to auto fill on safari, and even apps that support auto filling. KDF memory is set to 64. It was at 128 a few months ago but I decreased it when I went to autofill on my 2nd device which was a generation behind. (iPhone 12 vs 13)
