Bitwarden autofill uses Android autofill framework, and requires switching back and forward from Bitwarden and Chrome.

Unfortunately now chrome tab get reload EVERYTIME we switch from application to other, and make autofill stop working.

I tried to find an option or a flag to stop Chrome doing the refresh on android but not yet found.

This sounds like a Chrome issue rather than a problem with Bitwarden?

@kspearrin, not a Chrome issue, instead, Chrome "feature"...

For me Bitwarden auto-fill on Android is inconsistent.

Overlay keeps appearing and disappearing randomly.

I don't believe this is a Bitwarden bug, but rather a browser or Android bug. I've had the same behavior with Lastpass +Chrome for ages. Typically force closing the browser and opening it again gets it working for me again.
