Each time I try to auto-fill in Android Chrome on the site http://zhihu.com (A Chinese website), it always show

Title: Items for --
Message There are no items in your vault for --
Button: ADD AN ITEM

(unfortunately screenshot is not allowed in the app)

At first I was thinking maybe the autofill service in Android is broken again, and somehow the URL was not passed onto the app. But if you actually tap the button ADD AN ITEM, the full URL is in the URI field, and the Name field shows --. This leads me to believe maybe there's some mishandling of characters in the app that somehow messed up the Chinese characters and treated them as --?

FWIW, I've stopped using the Accessibility API and solely rely on the Autofill API. I'm unable to reproduce this issue anymore.

I'm having this same issue, but I see it consistently when using a hostname on my local network. If I browse to http://serverhostname:port, this works fine on Desktop browsers, but on both Chrome and Firefox on Android, Bitwarden shows that it cannot find any login entries for --.

I'm seeing the same behavior as @danielfrankcom when navigating to local network assets. If I navigate to http://serveripaddress, it seems to work fine, but when navigating to http://serverhostname, it results entries for --.

Could this issue be renamed into "items for - -"?
I've got the same problem in Edge and Vivaldi. Not always, it happens now and again.

Edit:

New an possibly related to above:
For some logins, the corresponding database item is no longer found while it definitely exists. "No items for live.com"

Both examples in Edge and Vivaldi browser

@Stephan-P Can you try again using the latest beta? (build 2353, went live this morning)

This is with this morning's beta

Edit
Boy, this IS intermittent or maybe I did not really have the latest beta build after all. The issue with not finding items for live.com does not persist. Items are found again with Vivaldi and Edge.

The issue "items for - -" remains on Vivaldi and Edge for, e.g.
https://tweakers.net/my.tnet/login/?location=https://tweakers.net/

@Stephan-P I believe we've identified the issue affecting tweakers.net (and possibly other sites as well). Keep your eyes peeled for build 2376 in the beta channel (currently awaiting approval).

Yep, the issue appears to be resolved in Vivaldi and Edge. Thanks. I hope it does so as well for Chrome.
Version: 2.3.1 (2376)

While testing it, I may have run into another issue where database items are not found when using the matching option "starts with". I'll open a new issue for this.
