[PM-27708] Autofill regression in multiple browsers: Bitwarden 2025.10.1 stops matching by website domain and falls back to package name (e.g. com.sec.android.app.sbrowser) #2374

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open Samsung Internet a Chromium-based browser other than Chrome itself (e.g. Samsung Browser, Edge) and navigate to any login form (example: https://authenticationtest.com)
  2. Tap into the username or password input field.
  3. Enter the Bitwarden vault (ignore suggestions) when prompted.

Expected Result

Bitwarden should match the login item by the website’s domain (e.g., authenticationtest.com) and show entries where that domain is listed as a URI.

Actual Result

Bitwarden instead shows items only for the browser package name (for Samsung Browser, it is androidapp://com.sec.android.app.sbrowser) as if no website domain were available.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Android Autofill does provide the correct page domain to the autofill session, as confirmed by the following snippets from logcat and dumpsys autofill:

AssistStructure: Web domain: authenticationtest.com
AutofillSession: Setting urlBar ... domain authenticationtest.com

Login field nodes with credential hints and the URL bar node are both present in the same AssistStructure tree.

Chrome’s AssistStructure has a similar “domain on one node, username/password hints on another” layout — but Chrome is matched successfully in both 2025.10.0 and 2025.10.1.

Therefore the regression appears to be in Bitwarden’s association logic that maps focused credential fields to the extracted mUrlBar domain specifically in Samsung Internet’s structure.

This is a domain association regression introduced in 2025.10.1, affecting Samsung Internet autofill flows. Rolling back to 2025.10.0 restores correct behavior.

Workaround

Until Bitwarden is updated with a fix, consider downgrading to version 2025.10.0, which resolves this issue completely.

Build Version

2025.10.1

Environment Details

  • Device: Samsung Galaxy S25
  • OS: Android 16 / OneUI 8.0

Issue Tracking Info

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Edited 13 Nov 2025 to include other Chromium-based browsers and emphasize the suggested workaround in its own section

I'm not really in a position to bisect the recent commits, but if I had to guess, I would guess that the regression came in via https://github.com/bitwarden/android/pull/5977.

That commit changed the AssistStructure parsing logic. When comparing the AssistStructures coming out of Samsung Internet and Chrome, they do appear to be structured somewhat differently. That difference might be enough to trigger the app URI fallback in the case of Samsung Internet, whereas the Chrome case stays on the happy path and doesn't fall through.

This problem has also occurred in the edge browser. The website can't be filled normally, only the application package name of edge pops up.Rolling back the last version of bitwarden can be filled normally.

I am experiencing the same problem on my POCO F5 with Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0.210.0 using Edge browser. Bitwarden is only matching on the Edge browser app package (com.microsoft.emmx) instead of the website domain, making autofill unusable on web pages. Downgrading Bitwarden to the previous version restores autofill functionality. Please investigate compatibility for Edge on HyperOS.

EDIT: Rolled back to 10.0 (20794) and autofill is working properly on Samsung Internet (using URL as expected instead of the Samsung Internet package name). Leads me to believe it's a Bitwarden issue ;)

Thank you @Chaniug & @KreativeKrise !


Came to report the same exact thing:

Autofill pop-ups are working on the Samsung Internet app, but when they are clicked on, Bitwarden is using the Samsung Internet package name instead of the website: com.sec.android.app.sbrowser

I have uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled Bitwarden. Toggled autofill settings (including not using Bitwarden to autofill, chrome autofill integration, accessibility toggle, etc.)

Using Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Bitwarden Version 2025.10.1(20867), Samsung Internet 29.0.0.59, One UI 8, Android 16.

This started happing a little under a week ago, after an app launched a pop-up for authentication with Google. (Samsung Internet is default browser). This may be coincident timing.

I haven't found other posts about this (reddit, etc.), so wasn't sure if this is a known issue. So here I am.

Thank you to the devs for looking into this as it seems others are having similar issues.

Chrome works properly as expected, with autofill suggestions coming from the URL (not the chrome package name).

On Android 16 with the Samsung S23+ and the latest version of the Edge browser, the app detects the package name instead of the web page. If you're on a page and tap an input element, Bitwarden suggests filling in for the Edge package name. However, if you tap the Bitwarden autofill icon in the notification panel, it correctly shows the autofill suggestion for the page.

I agree. And you can't spend a week fixing such a big bug. That's not acceptable from a company like Bitwarden.

I think this bug requires immediate attention. Given the widespread impact on a significant portion of Bitwarde user base and its effect on core usability, I believe this issue should be prioritized with the highest urgency. It is concerning to pay for a premium service and then have to wait an extended period for a simple bug to fix.

I'm not going to uninstall, to rollback and reconfigure everything again.

I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest reverting that and doing it properly, especially as that's a non insignificant share of mobile browsers - heck Samsung Internet is the default on OneUI

The issues with mobile Edge, Opera and Samsung Internet are a result of tightening some security around autofill (https://github.com/bitwarden/android/pull/5977) that caused unexpected challenges with those specific browsers.

That PR affects 23 files, more than 260 lines of code changed, and the review was approved 6 minutes after being marked Ready for Review. This does not indicate a serious level of oversight. It has now caused a bug that is making the app unusable in browsers for a large proportion of your userbase.

Given the state of autofill in Android I would hope that changes that tighten it up even further would receive more oversight in the future.

It has now caused a bug that is making the app unusable in browsers for a large proportion of your userbase. Given the state of autofill in Android I would hope that changes that tighten it up even further would receive more oversight in the future.

Brave Beta is also affected by this issue.
Device OnePlus 13 with Android 15 and Android 16.

Switch to " autofill with third party " in settings. The change primarily negatively affects browsers that haven't implemented that

I have been advocating for our company to switch to bitwarden but now wear pie on my face as a result of this regression.

I note there is no mention of this on the troubleshooting help page linked from the app settings:

Having trouble with autofill?
Access help and troubleshooting documentation here

Not a good look team.

I am also affected but am not sure how to downgrade to 2025.10.0

I uninstalled the 2025.10.1 version from the Google Play Store and thought I could manually download and install the .APK files from the 2025.10.0 release, but neither the plain/fdroid versions work...

Am I missing something?


EDIT: OK, turns out it was an issue with my device as I use a Knox work profile, which also has BitWarden running on it... I did tap "uninstall for all users" but this didn't seem to work as was still installed on work profile, which was then causing an issue when I tried to install the APK.

Facing same issue here With Android Bitwarden 2025.10.1 (20867) and Microsoft Edge 142.0.3595.66 and Android 15.
I realized Edge in mobile now offers the option to install extensions, Bitwarden among them.

  • Would in any way that be the recommended way for auto-fill now within Edge?

This issue was caused by a change to Autofill with the purpose of improving security. Unfortunately, these affected browsers are not compatible with these improved security measures. The next release of the Android app will include a new toggle in the Autofill settings that change functionality in such a way that allows these browsers to Autofill properly again without negatively affecting the other browsers.

There is also a separate issue with the latest version of Samsung Internet Browser (v29.x.x.x) that has broken compatibility with Autofill on older versions of the Android OS. This issue is something that needs to be handled by the browser developers.

Can you provide any additional details about the Android-side changes to autofill that PR #5977 was meant to implement? The commit message doesn't provide much information. Were those Android changes implemented with a go-live date separate from the usual API-level compatibility mechanism?

It sort of felt like the code changes introduced by PR #5977 merely broke the Bitwarden-side heuristics that are used to resolve the AssistStructure data for certain browsers, but I'm happy for that conjecture to be wrong and to learn something.

Shouldn't you fallback automatically for unsupported browsers? Such an option is bound to scare off users from enabling it

Any ETA for the release date of the Android version (2025.11.0)?

2025.10.1 was released over a month ago at this point. The decision to not revert, and to leave the app broken for 10-20% of users this entire time is one thing, but given that is where we are, please can I ask that an interim update which includes the 'toggle option' is fast-tracked. This needs sorting now.

Thanks for pushing out a fix for this.

Is there a plan to push the new release to Bitwarden's FDroid repo? It looks like this normally happens in some sort of CI/CD workflow and is performed by a bot account. In this case the release process encountered some issues, so I wonder if the FDroid repo release process needs to be manually triggered.

Hi @rallyemax

The F-Droid repo is updated now. That process runs every evening and picks up non-draft releases. It's unrelated to the process that tags and creates our GitHub Releases, so it's unaffected by that issue. Since we fixed the GitHub release before the F-Droid process ran last night, the F-Droid release is the correct build. If you observe otherwise, or encounter any issues with it, let us know.

Hi @SaintPatrck,

It looks like the new version appears at the Bitwarden F-Droid repo Github page, but it didn't make it into the actual repo. This can be seen by browsing to https://mobileapp.bitwarden.com (which shows the most recent available version) or by examining the index-v1.json file inside the JAR archive at https://mobileapp.bitwarden.com/fdroid/repo/index-v1.jar -- the most recent version in that repo is 2025.10.1.

I'll be able to close this issue once the fixed version hits F-Droid and I can verify that the reported issue is resolved.

I'll be able to close this issue once the fixed version hits F-Droid and I can verify that the reported issue is resolved.

Got version 2025.11.0 in the F-Droid repo, installed it, and verified that when "Use compatibility mode for autofill" is disabled, the reported issue persists; but when that toggle is enabled, the reported issue is resolved.

Thank you Bitwarden devs for fixing the issue and @SaintPatrck for getting the new version pushed to the package repo.

It may depend on your region(?) The UK Play Store has 2025.11.0 available.

Also, just to confirm the setting that needs to be activated (as there are now 2x accessibility-related settings next to each other) is this one shown below.

Note: You do not need to enable BitWarden in the accessibility apps section for this option.

The new version has new issues with autofill in edge lmao. It keeps trying to fill the email in the password field, and insists there are no password fields for quick tile. Edge beta, was not an issue before 2025.10.1

This issue was caused by a change to Autofill with the purpose of improving security. Unfortunately, these affected browsers are not compatible with these improved security measures. The next release of the Android app will include a new toggle in the Autofill settings that change functionality in such a way that allows these browsers to Autofill properly again without negatively affecting the other browsers.

I would argue the main issue is not technical compatibility, the issue is the lack of QA/Testing and/or total disregard of backward compatibility, breaking change, and lack of communication for non trivial number of user. Edge, Samsung Browser, and Opera users are likely not in the 0.1%.

Other users has pointed it several times, like this one:

The issues with mobile Edge, Opera and Samsung Internet are a result of tightening some security around autofill (#5977) that caused unexpected challenges with those specific browsers.

That PR affects 23 files, more than 260 lines of code changed, and the review was approved 6 minutes after being marked Ready for Review. This does not indicate a serious level of oversight. It has now caused a bug that is making the app unusable in browsers for a large proportion of your userbase.

Given the state of autofill in Android I would hope that changes that tighten it up even further would receive more oversight in the future.

6 minutes review, LGTM and there it goes to main?

The handling is even worse. Weeks before bug being tracked, another several weeks before it got fixed. Zero acknowledgement of the lack of oversight.

You already told us a bazillion times in PR language about "security improvement" and "challenge in compatibility". We know what they are and know they are normal part of software development, but users repeatedly asking explanation about your "challenge" in QA process got literally ignored and side-stepped.

Sincerely, a paying private customer and an enterprise user.

2025.11.0 with compatibility mode enabled works on Edge perfectly fine for me, thanks.
