Troubleshooting Android Autofill

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

For instructions on setting up autofill on Android, see Autofill logins on Android.

If the Bitwarden autofill service overlay isn't visible when your device is focusing on a username or password input field, your device may require a device-specific setting to be enabled:

For Huawei/Honor devices, enable Dropzone:

1. Open the Huawei/Honor Optimizer app (also known as "Phone Manager").

2. Tap Dropzone in the middle of the bottom row.

3. Slide the toggle to the right to allow Dropzone.

For Oppo and other devices, enable Floating Window:

1. Open the Android Settings app.

2. Navigate to Privacy/Security.

3. Locate Floating Windows or App Management and tap to open.

4. Slide the toggle to the right to allow Floating Windows.

The most common issue encountered using the accessibility service is that Android battery optimization settings will automatically turn off services (like the Accessibility Service) in order to preserve battery. To resolve this, turn off battery optimization for Bitwarden.

If you continue to experience issues with the Accessibility Service:

1. Double-check your battery optimization settings. If battery optimization is on for Bitwarden, turn it off.

2. If you use a battery saver or Task Manager app, try disabling to see if that makes a difference. If it does, add Bitwarden to the exception list.

3. Check the built-in Task Manager. You'll need to bring up the running apps view and then hold down the app icon or swipe up on the Bitwarden app and then select Lock.

Please note, the service can also halt if you ever "Force stop" the Bitwarden app.
