Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/3910

Steps To Reproduce

This refers to the BW Android app

  1. Leave default match detection as it is
  2. Create an entry with a URI that overrides match detection to Starts With, e.g. http://192.168.1.1/myApp
  3. Go to http://192.168.1.1/myApp

Expected Result

BW proposes to autofill

Actual Result

BW does not propose to autofill

Additional Context

I need Starts with because I don't have just myApp hosted on my server, but several ones, each with its login info.

Therefore I need other entries for myApp2 etc under the same host.

Operating System

Android

Operating System Version

Android 14

Web Browser

Firefox

Browser Version

130.0

Build Version

Versione: 2024.8.1 (19099)

I susepct that BW is not considering the full URI when looking up the vault. The 2nd screenshot shows a message saying "No element for 192.168.1.2", but it should've been looking for http://192.168.1.2/radar/login and so on...

Maybe the URI gets truncated too aggressively and no match could be found as a consequence?

Same problem with app 2024.5.1-10574.

I'm starting to think that it's by design...but then how can I have only ONE perfect match for each of my apps? They're all hosted on the same server, my home lab. Thanks

@sammbw, In what way this is the intended behavior? Using starts-with detection is not supported with auto fill?

Hi all,

The Autofill framework does not provide us the entire URL so we are unable to perform matching on path or port numbers, which according to the description is the expectation. We do mention this limitation in Match detection options on our Help page.

We have reported this lack of information to Google and requested the information be made available. As of now, we have not seen any movement on either ticket (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/413521641 and https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/378464307).

As a temporary work-around, consider modifying the match type to Host so that at least partial matches are suggested instead of no suggestions showing.

You can also try using the Accessibility Quick Tile. We are often able to get the port and path information via this method because we have the ability to read and parse the screen ourself, instead of relying on the data provided by Android's Autofill API.

Also, feel free to +1 the linked tickets to let Google know it is negatively effecting your autofill experience.

Anyone knows the behavior with other password manager clients? E.g. Lastpass, keeper? How do they handle this? Does all suffer from the same issue due to the lack of information returned by Android?

@kaplanben, I briefly checked Dashlane and ProtonPass. This appears to be a consistent limitation.

Using https://fill.dev as a test site, I saved two different credentials with two different associated URI's; https://fill.dev/form/login-simple and https://fill.dev/form/registration-email

Image Image

Results

I could not locate "match type" options in either app. When I navigate to https://fill.dev/form/login-simple, both saved credentials are suggested by both apps, indicating the URI path is not respected by either.

Dashlane:

Proton Pass:
