Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6212

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enable TalkBack on an Android device.

  2. Open Bitwarden → go to a login item.

  3. Focus the password field.

TalkBack announces “Password, characters.”

  1. Tap the “reveal password” (eye) button.

  2. Tap the password field again.

Expected Result

TalkBack should read out the actual revealed password character by character.

Actual Result

TalkBack only announces “Password, characters” even when the password is visually revealed.Cg

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

When using the Bitwarden Android app with TalkBack enabled, the “reveal password” button no longer allows TalkBack to read out the actual password characters. Instead, TalkBack continues to announce only “Password, X characters” even after the password is visually revealed.

This used to work correctly — after revealing the password and focusing the password field again, TalkBack would speak the password character by character. This behavior seems to have changed more than six months ago.

This prevents visually impaired users from verifying or checking their passwords, making the reveal feature effectively unusable for TalkBack users.
