Autofill not working in Brave Browser

[Focron]

Bitwarden Beta

• I'm using the new native Bitwarden Beta app and I'm aware that legacy .NET app bugs should be reported in bitwarden/mobile

Steps To Reproduce

1. Activate autofill in Bitwarden (Beta)
2. Open Brave
3. Open any website
4. Click on the login field

Expected Result

Available autofill options are shown.

Actual Result

Nothing happens.

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

First image shows Autofill not working in brave.

Second image shows Autofill working in vanadium (GrapheneOS version of Chromeium).

---

Both normal and inline Autofill was tested and both didn't work in brave.

Bitwarden was installed using F-Droid (Bitwarden Repo)
Brave was installed using the Google Playstore.

Build Version

Bitwarden version: 2024.8.0 (18985)

Environment Details

• Device: Google Pixel 6a
• OS: GrapheneOS (build: 2024080600)
• Android version: 14
• Brave version: 1.68.137
• Chromium version: 127.0.6533.100

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Exactly the same happens to me in Opera. Maybe a problem with chrome-based browsers?

[Focron]

I don't think if that's the case since it seems to work in Vanadium which is also Chromium based. Maybe Brave and Opera just don't implement the Android Autofill API? The Bitwarden beta app doesn't seem to have the old Accessability based fallback which could be used if an app didn't implement the Autofill API.
I'm honestly not sure if that's the issue though, just speculating a bit.

Hello, I’m very curious about the browsers you use for testing, and the version of Bitwarden on Android that you test with. The same regular expression works very accurately on the PC when using Edge with the extension link to Edge extension. However, on the Android side, Bitwarden Android has never correctly recognized the URL when used in the Kiwi Browser link to Kiwi Browser.

So I’m very curious about what version you used to test and couldn’t replicate the issue.

this seems to be a Brave issue, first and foremost. The current fix for this:

• Go to: brave://flags
• search for "Enable the setting to provide a virtual view structure for Autofill" and enable it with the option "enabled without any compatibility check".
• Restart the browser (best would be to force quit).
• A new menu should appear in settings below " Downloads" called "Autofill Services"
• in that menu, select "other providers"
• restart browser again

Now your autofill should be working. At least that worked for me.
