Autofill from Android App

Bitwarden makes your passwords available for autofill so that you can seamlessly log in to websites and apps while also maintaining strong and secure passwords. Autofill cuts the copying and pasting out of your login routine by detecting vault items that match the service you are logging in to.

Custom fields and split login workflows (when username and password fields are displayed on separate screens) are not currently supported in mobile autofill.

note

On Android, Password Manager uses a website (e.g. https://gmail.com) to autofill in web browsers and a package name (e.g. com.google.android.gm) to autofill in installed applications.

When it comes to installed applications, it is important that you only install and autofill into applications from trusted sources, like the Google Play Store or F-Droid, as a malicious application could mimic the package name of a well-known application.

Depending on the version of Android your device is running, there are a few different ways to enable autofill from Bitwarden. To set up autofill:

1. Navigate to Settings → Autofill.

2. Tap Autofill services to allow Bitwarden to use your saved login information to sign in to apps on your device.

3. When your device asks for your preferred services for passwords, passkeys, & autofill, choose Bitwarden.

4. Back on the Bitwarden Settings → Autofill screen, choose one of the following Display autofill suggestions options:

   • Inline: This option will suggest credentials to autofill in your keyboard.

   • Popup: This option will suggest credentials to autofill in a popup over the input field.

5. If you use Brave or Chrome as your web browser, toggle the Use Brave autofill integration or Use Chrome autofill integration options on to ensure that autofill will work in these browsers. Learn more

   note

   Due to the way Brave and Chome Android apps function, autofill will not work on sites using HTTP unless a browser flag is manually turned on. To enable Autofill on for HTTP sites on Brave/Chrome:

   1. Navigate to brave://flags

   2. seach for Insecure origins treated as secure and enable the flag

   3. Add required HTTP domains/IPs, for example: http://192.0.2.0/24, or http://myserver.local

   4. Relaunch Brave.

6. If you want to use Quick-action tiles, toggle Use accessibility on. When your device takes you to the Accessibility menu, toggle Bitwarden on in that location as well.

   tip

   Quick-action tiles do not require that the Autofill service is toggled on in Bitwarden, meaning you can skip the previous steps if this is your preferred method, however you will need to edit your tiles using the  icon to put the Bitwarden tile options in a place that makes sense for you.

You'll be presented with two options. The first (above, My Login Item) will autofill the first login (above, my_username) with a matching URI. The second (above, Bitwarden) will allow you to choose from a list of logins with matching URIs.

This method requires Android 8+.

If you use Brave or Chrome as your web browser, toggle the Use Brave autofill integration or Use Chrome autofill integration options on to ensure that autofill will work in these browsers. Doing so will take you to that web browser's settings, where you will also need to enable the option to use a third-party service.

This is required by Chrome so it can securely use Bitwarden to autofill passwords through its protected autofill system, and requires that Autofill services is enabled in Bitwarden and that the installed Chrome app is at least version 135. These options will disable the browser's built-in autofill functionality in favor of Bitwarden.

warning

Bitwarden will automatically detect whether you're using Edge, Opera, or Samsung Internet, will not require an integration option to be turned on for those browsers, and will use a modified autofill logic within those browsers.

On Edge, Opera, or Samsung Internet, take care to only autofill trusted and legitimate websites, as a vulnerability exists that could allow credentials to be autofilled into an embedded or hidden iframe on a malicious website.

Quick-action tiles use the Android accessibility service to make autofill actions available from your notifications pull-down's settings menu. Quick-action tiles do not require that the Autofill service is toggled on in Bitwarden, however you will need to edit your tiles using the  icon to put the Bitwarden tile options in a place that makes sense for you:

To use a quick-action tile, navigate to the page or app you want to autofill and, swipe down to access the tiles, and tap the tile you want to use.

The Bitwarden Android app can be used to store and autofill passkeys. To turn on the ability to autofill passkeys, navigate to Settings → Autofill and tap Passkey management to access the Android settings used to configure Bitwarden as your passkey provider. Please note that Android does not allow 3rd party passkey providers like Bitwarden to support passkey-based 2FA (a.k.a. "non-discoverable credentials"); Bitwarden-stored passkeys can only be used as a primary login credential. Learn more about
