Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6296

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open our Android Ionic app (Angular + Ionic, Capacitor WebView).
  2. Navigate to the Login screen containing two ion-input fields (username + password).
  3. Ensure Bitwarden is set as the device’s Autofill service (Settings → Passwords/passkeys & autofill → Bitwarden) and Chrome/Brave integration enabled (if applicable).
  4. Tap the Username field, select the relevant login from Bitwarden suggestions (or trigger autofill popup).
  5. Tap the Password field (or proceed to autofill credentials).
  6. Observe the filled values and attempt sign‑in.

Expected Result

Bitwarden autofill should place:

username → username input
password → password input

Sign‑in should succeed with the stored credentials.

Actual Result

Android only: Bitwarden autofill places the username value into the password field (the password field receives the username string).

Attempting sign‑in fails with “username/password incorrect”.

Additional Context

Current markup:

<ion-input
type="text"
class="fs-exclude"
formControlName="username"
enterkeyhint="next"
mode="md"
#username
(keyup.enter)="setFocus(password)"
inputmode="text"
data-cy="login-username"
data-test="login-username-input">

<ion-input
type="password"
formControlName="password"
mode="md"
enterkeyhint="Go"
#password
inputmode="password"
data-cy="login-password"
data-test="login-password-input">

We also tried with:
[attr.autocomplete]="'username'|'current-password'", [attr.name]="'username'|'password'", [attr.id]="'username'|'password'"
The mis‑fill persists on Android.

What We Already Tried

Ensured autocomplete="username" and autocomplete="current-password" (via [attr.*] so attributes reach the native input inside ion-input’s Shadow DOM).
Ensured distinct name/id for both fields.
Removed reactive‑form (change) handlers that could overwrite autofill results.
Added hidden native anchors inside the same

Verified Bitwarden Autofill settings (Autofill service ON, Chrome/Brave integration ON).
Tested across multiple Android versions/browsers (Chrome/WebView 139–141+, Brave).
Confirmed iOS works (WKWebView + Password AutoFill correctly maps fields).

Build Version

2025.12.0

Environment Details

Platform: Android (multiple devices; reproducible on Pixel / Samsung)
OS: Android 13/14/15 (observed across versions)
Browser/WebView: Chrome/WebView up to latest available (issue persists), Brave also affected
Bitwarden App: Latest stable (Password Manager) with Autofill service enabled
Keyboard/IME: Gboard / SwiftKey (problem independent of IME)
App Tech: Ionic + Angular, Capacitor WebView
iOS Status: Works as expected on iOS (Password AutoFill correctly targets fields)

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.

Problem: the BW authenticator app is not even able to autofill.

Hi there!

We appreciate you letting us know of this issue. Due to the nature of autofill issues, we track them internally using different Forms depending on the platform:

mobile: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMopHyN7KGJs8hW562VTzbIGL4KcFnx0wJcsW0GYE1BnPiGA/viewform

browser extension: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkxh1w6vK8fLYwAbAAEVhvhMAJwfFNDtYtPUVk1y5WTHvJmQ/viewform

In this case, we will go ahead and file an autofill report for you with the information you added here.

In the future, if you encounter any other page or app that doesn't autofill as expected, please avoid opening a new GitHub issue and go directly to the corresponding form.

This issue will now be closed.

Thanks!
