Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6471

Steps To Reproduce

Whenever I unlock my vault, I am frequently met with this persistent pop-up:

Enable browser Autofill to keep filling passwords

Your browser has recently updated, which has disabled Bitwarden autofill. To continue filling your passwords with Bitwarden, enable browser autofill in autofill settings.

Not now / Go to settings

I use the Vivaldi browser, where autofill functions correctly despite not using the native integration found in Chrome or Brave.

Expected Result

The nagging behavior should be changed, or the pop-up removed.

Actual Result

Since Chrome isn't available on my system, tapping "Go to settings" to toggle the "Use Chrome autofill integration" does nothing.

The prompt continues to appear regularly, insisting I enable a feature for a browser I don't use and have no intention of using. The app insists on requesting an integration that isn't applicable to my setup.

@Nyr commented on GitHub (Feb 4, 2026):

The popup appears because the app checks if Chrome (stable), Chrome Beta, or Brave is installed and whether those have third-party autofill enabled. If any is installed but not configured for third-party autofill, the dialog will repeat every 24 hours.

The relevant code is here:

e31fa46a73/app/src/main/kotlin/com/x8bit/bitwarden/data/autofill/manager/browser/BrowserAutofillDialogManagerImpl.kt (L28-L36)

The list of browsers checked is limited to those here:
e31fa46a73/app/src/main/kotlin/com/x8bit/bitwarden/data/autofill/model/browser/BrowserPackage.kt (L12-L15)

So if you have any of these browsers installed (even if you don't use them), the popup will keep appearing regardless of which other browser you actually use as your default.

I’m not discussing whether a 24-hour nag is ever appropriate for something not critical, but it certainly isn’t when it can not be permanently dismissed and does not even verify whether it’s relevant to the user (such as checking the default browser).
