Originally created by @jerryn70 on GitHub (Apr 19, 2017).

Adding a keyboard feature like keepass2android will be a good move. The one benefits of this feature is security and the other is , we all know that auto fill wont work on some apps, example UC browser. If we have a keyboard feature we can switch to that keyboard and get user credentials.
I have tested the keyboard method of keepass2android with UC browser and got worked so that I'm requesting this for our bitwarden.

This will likely not be necessary anymore once we integrate with Android O autofill APIs.

Any chance this could still be considered, even with Oreo autofill implemented? There are plenty of devices that will never get Oreo, and probably not all apps will (reliably) support it either. A keyboard is guaranteed to work everywhere (such as in Firefox without setting up a separate extension 1, 2) so it can be used as a fallback while being more secure than the clipboard.

Also even with my Oreo enabled Pixel, the autofill feature doesn't work in all apps. In particular those that use a WebView for authentication seem to be broken. Especially that gboard doesn't even allow pasting into those password fields.

With all the issues with chrome autofill this seems more relevant than ever. I'm sick of the only password manager option on the gboard keyboard being Google's.
