Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/508

Auto fill pop up appears in the settings app for fields like wifi passwords, device pin, etc. I don't think this is a desirable behaviour.

I've added com.android.settings to the exclusion list in the next version. Thanks.

Sorry, but this was my favourite feature!

I deliberately added all my Wi-Fi passwords with the androidapp://com.android.settings URI to get autofill. I showed it to my friends and they started doing the same. I was even considering making a YouTube video specifically to highlight this little-known feature.

@kspearrin, please can you re-enable autofill for androidapp://com.android.settings? Maybe you could provide an option to turn it off for those that don't want it, but for the sake of discoverability I think it should be enabled by default.

(Google, if you're reading this, please create more fine-grained URI's for Android settings. E.g. androidapp://com.android.settings.wifi.)

I reverted com.android.settings from the hardcoded blacklist for next update.

If you want to blacklist com.android.settings, the user can add androidapp://com.android.settings to the URI blacklist for autofill under Settings > Options in the Bitwarden app.

@shoogle could you please check this function again on Android 11. It seems does not work for me.

@quyleanh, autofill suggestions stopped working a while a go in Android Settings but I don't think it's Bitwarden's fault; I think Google changed some APIs or something.

As I remember, Keepass2Android app does allow autofill. I check with 1Password, it does allow as well.
So the problem might be on Bitwarden side.
Could you please check @kspearrin? Thank you.
