Android has many web browsers. It can be hard to keep up with them all. We have to add support for each browser individually. If auto-fill does not work and your browser is not listed above please report it at <https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/issues> so that we can add support.

If you intend to auto-fill custom fields you should name your field based on an identifier from the webpage form. These names are searched for using the following criteria:
- HTML form element's **id** attribute
- then the HTML form element's **name** attribute

- then the HTML form element's **placeholder** value
If one of these matches is found, bitwarden will auto-fill the custom field's value for you.
If one of these matches is found, Bitwarden will auto-fill the custom field's value for you.
## Special name prefixes for auto-filling
When bitwarden searches a webpage's form elements to match with your custom field's name, an exact, case-insensitive comparison is done. For example, if your custom field has the name "PIN", the following form element's values (from the id, name, label, etc) will match for auto-filling: "pin", "PIN", and "Pin". However, values such as "pin2" or "mypin" will not match.

You will see a message indicating so when you try to open the bitwarden popup window in a private window. We have discussed the problem with Mozilla, however, they seem unable to fix it so that extensions like bitwarden can function entirely in private mode.

As a workaround, if you are looking to auto-fill a login while in a private window you can use the right-click context menu:
1. Navigate to the website's login page while browsing in a private window.
2. Right click the page. A context menu will appear.
3. Select **bitwarden** &rarr; **Auto-fill** and then pick your login.
3. Select **Bitwarden** &rarr; **Auto-fill** and then pick your login.
Alternatively, you can also copy/paste your login credentials by accessing your vault in the popup from a regular, non-private browsing window.

## The Bitwarden icons server
When bitwarden displays a login item associated with a website in your bitwarden vault it attempts to accompany it with a "website icon". This "website icons" feature allows you to easily identify particular logins in your vault by a recognizable icon. This is usually represented by a logo or brand image of that website. The bitwarden icons server provides the delivery endpoint for these website icons.

The Bitwarden icons server provides the delivery endpoint for these website icons.
If you are using the "website icons" feature on a device, bitwarden will issue requests to `icons.bitwarden.com` for each item of type "Login" in your vault that has a URI that resembles a website (ex. `google.com` or `https://google.com`, but not `google` or `http://localhost`). The icons server is fronted with a CDN that caches the icons on Cloudflare's edge nodes all around the world. Subsequent requests to the same icon will likely hit CDN caches instead of the icons server directly. Your requests may never actually hit bitwarden's icons server because another bitwarden user with the same website in their vault requested the icon before you.
