Android has had an autofill feature for password managers for years now, but it's broken and needs to be fixed.

Bitwarden is reasonably consistent, but you have to have recently logged into it. Before I open an app that needs auth, I open bw and unlock my vault. Most applications popup login with bitwarden and it can handle 3 stage logins usually even when the ask for 2fa before password.

I've found that bitwarden pops up more consistently if I select the password field instead of the username field.

also true!

I suspect I just need to set it not to relock the vault for a day and just auth it in the am and also set it not to sleep for power.

But those two things aren't really how I want things to be either.

What happens when you don't? I definitely have not had to do that.

I get about a 80% chance of popping the dialogue to fill.

If bitwarden isn't already authed on my Samsung s24U, sometimes it will not pop the autofill with bitwarden button.

If I have opened and authorized bit warden in the previous few minutes the pop rate is very close to 100%

It won't automatically suggest the right logins in your keyboard. There will be a chip with "Unlock your vault" or something like that.
