Personally, I haven’t been able to trigger the same. Our friends over at Android Police, too, obtained a screenshot that shows 1Password within the Gboard suggestion strip. Dylan Roussel noted the same thing on his device. This functionality has been available when using Chrome for a while, but in Android 11, we’re seeing it on other apps as our own Abner Li was able to capture in the screenshot below.


We’ve observed a couple of times the interface below which pulls from Google’s own password manager, inputting a username and password from the app on your screen. Notably, too, this new autofill implementation appears to already be testing on Android 11 with Gboard. In Google’s documentation, it’s explained that the IME (input-method editor) would be responsible for a “suggestion request.” Essentially, an icon on the screen can trigger the password options from your password manager. Device: GALAXY S21 5g Operating system: Android 11 One UI 3.1 Build Version (go to 'Settings' 'About' in the app): Bitwarden Version: 2.8. In its current state, Android has to recognize a password field in apps and browsers, and sometimes it can fail pretty hard on that. Note that autofill is prompted Open Edge and go to and note autofill is not prompted. There are big implications for this feature, too. With the newest version of Android, keyboard apps will be able to integrate with the platform’s autofill feature, pushing the UI for autofill from floating over a text field to the keyboard itself. In Android 11, it seems Google is finally ready to improve autofill in a pretty obvious way - by using the keyboard.Ī developer page that went live over the past few days details an addition to Android 11 that Google didn’t previously announce. Autofill has been a key feature of Android since the 8.0 Oreo release, but the implementation has always felt a little sloppy and unreliable.
