Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6110

Steps To Reproduce

Replication steps arent fully clear to me, it appears even when the browser hasnt recently updated. All I know is it happens sometimes when opening the app.

Expected Result

The popup shouldnt appear randomly.

Actual Result

Popup appears even when its not meant to.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

The popup reads "Your browser has recently updated, which has disabled Bitwarden autofill", then tells me its been disabled and requests that I reconfigure it, but it hasnt been disabled, all my preferences are the same as before.

Build Version

2025.10.0

What server are you connecting to?

N/A

Self-host Server Version

No response

Environment Details

  • Device: OnePlus 6T
  • OS Version: Android 11 (OxygenOS)

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.

Hey Hugo,
It looks like this issue might be tied to recent changes in your browser’s autofill behavior. If you open Settings and scroll down a bit, you should see an option labeled Use {browser} autofill integration (for example, “Use Brave autofill integration” or “Use Chrome autofill integration”). Make sure that toggle is turned on to ensure autofill works reliably in your browser.
