Describe the Bug

Two main problems introduced by Version 2.3.0:

  1. Autofill popup often hides important text or buttons which are needed at the login page
  • having an option to use the old-style notification fixes this
  • a movable/minimizable popup could be helpful as well
  1. Not all password fields are recognized
  • having an option to use the old-style persistent notification fixes this

Environment

  • Device: Samsung S20
  • Operating system: Android 10

Additional Context

Please bring back the old notification option for submitting the credentials. Currently the only solution is to use version 2.2.8.

@hokkanen We have an autofill tile available in the latest beta. This behaves similarly to the old notification way.

@hokkanen The way the old notification worked was not battery-friendly. As Kyle mentioned you can use the new autofill tile to achieve the same behavior in the latest beta. It also includes numerous improvements to the popup handling as well. I recommend switching over and if you still encounter issues, file bugs with additional details (browser, url, & app settings) as these all affect how accessibility works.
