Both Bitwarden and Proton Pass require an account. Is there a way to test this without creating accounts?

Sure it does not work with any autofill of password managers.

Try with KeepassDX: https://www.keepassdx.com/

• Install the app
• Create a new database
• Create a new item with username+password+URL
• Enable autofill in settings and set KeepassDX as default
• Try the autofill in the URL you've set and nothing happen
• Try another Chromium-based browser and the autofill works

Some screenshots:

Autofill default
Works with other chromium-based browser

I don't know about Bitwarden, but Proton Pass accounts are free, so testing with one would not require any financial investment. 👍-------- Original Message --------On 3/11/24 18:12, Wojciech Knapik wrote: Both Bitwarden and Proton Pass require an account.

Tried with KeePassDX and indeed, it works with Vanadium and Firefox, doesn't work with Brave (release, or nightly)

@skariko have you tried this with vanilla Android, or only GrapheneOS?

[queesamor]

Proton Pass works well in vanilla Android with Brave, but in GrapheneOS Brave is the only browser (of those listed) that does not work with Proton Pass.-------- Original Message --------On 3/13/24 14:57, Wojciech Knapik wrote: @skariko have you tried this with vanilla Android, or only GrapheneOS? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***> [ { ***@***.***": "http://schema.org", ***@***.***": "EmailMessage", "potentialAction": { ***@***.***": "ViewAction", "target": "#36553 (comment)", "url": "#36553 (comment)", "name": "View Issue" }, "description": "View this Issue on GitHub", "publisher": { ***@***.***": "Organization", "name": "GitHub", "url": "https://github.com" } } ]

hello @queesamor and @wknapik , I can confirm that on Vanilla Android it works well.
The problem occurs exclusively on GrapheneOS, despite active Google services and all given permissions.

On any other chromium-based browser I've tried (Mulch, Cromite, Vanadium) it works fine.

[wknapik]

@brave/android what would you need to debug this? It works in other browsers, including Chromium-based, so we should be able to fix it. Lmk and I can share logs, etc.

As noted by Ben, this solution for Bitwarden also worked for me for Proton Pass, and I can now finally autofill website logins again: 1: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/4802-bitwarden-not-working-on-brave/21 2: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/4802-bitwarden-not-working-on-brave/36

Just wanted to respond that after changing the flag in brave (brave://flags#enable-autofill-virtual-view-structure) and what seems like a half-dozen reboots, I did finally see the new autofill menu (no icon, which can throw you off,) and was able to get PP working similarly to other apps. Just using the keyboard autofill mechanism.
