Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.9.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Andorid 16; Pixel 10 Build/CP1A.260405.005

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 147.0.7727.101

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

When opening the login page on mobile, the login fields should be recognised by password managers for autofill in the same way as they are recognised on desktop.

Actual Behavior

Password manager autofill works on desktop but not on mobile.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install and configure Bitwarden on your android phone and configure autofill.
  2. Verify autofill works client side by trying it on a site where you know it works.
  3. Open the login page for an Open Web UI instance in chrome on your Android phone.

Logs & Screenshots

Below is the html for the login page from Firefox DevTools on Desktop. Notice the missing "name" in the password input field.

<div class="flex flex-col mt-4">
<!---->
  <div class="mb-2">
    <label for="email" class="text-sm font-medium text-left mb-1 block">Email</label>
    <input type="email" id="email" class="my-0.5 w-full text-sm outline-hidden bg-transparent placeholder:text-gray-300 dark:placeholder:text-gray-600" autocomplete="email" name="email" required="" placeholder="Enter Your Email">

    </div>

</div>

Additional Information

I did some digging and noticed that while many attributes are present. like autocomplete="password" and type="password" on the login page the "name" attribute is missing from the input. I tracked this to be missing from the SensitiveInput definition the svelte file for the login page uses.
