Bitwarden makes your passwords available for auto-fill so that you can seamlessly log in to websites and apps while also maintaining strong and secure passwords. Auto-fill cuts the copying and pasting out of your login routine by detecting Vault items that match the service you're logging in to.

|
|
*Most* auto-fill scenarios rely on the attribution of URIs to Login items. If you're unfamiliar with using URIs, brush up using our [Using URIs]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) article.
|
|
|
|
Please note that custom fields are not currently supported in Mobile auto-fill.

## Auto-fill on Android
|
|
|
|
Depending on the version of Android your device is running, there are a few different ways to enable auto-fill from Bitwarden:
|
|
|
|
|Option|Requires version...|Requires you to also enable...|
|
|
|------|-------------------|-------------------------|
|
|
|Autofill Service|Android 8+|-|
|
|
|Inline Autofill|Android 11+|Autofill Service, IME (Input Method Editor) that supports Inline|
|
|
|Draw-Over|Android 6+|Accessibility|
|
|
|Accessibility|All Android Versions|-|
|
|
|
|
#### Autofill Service
|
|
|
|
The Autofill Service (*requires Android 8+*) will overlay a popup when the device is focused on an input that has a [matching Login item]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/). When your Vault is unlocked, you'll be provided the options to immediately auto-fill or to open your Vault:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To enable the autofill service:
|
|
|
|
1. Open your Bitwarden Android app and tap the {% icon fa-cog %} **Settings** tab.
|
|
2. Tap the **Auto-fill Services** option.
|
|
3. Toggle the **Auto-fill Service** option. You'll be automatically redirected to an Android Settings screen.
|
|
4. From the Autofill service list, tap **Bitwarden**.
|
|
|
|
You'll be prompted to confirm you trust Bitwarden. Tapping **OK** will let Bitwarden read content on the screen to know when to offer auto-fill. Learn more from [our blog post](https://bitwarden.com/blog/post/the-oreo-autofill-framework){:target="_blank"}.

**Autofill Service not working?** See [Troubleshooting the Autofill Service]({{site.baseurl}}/article/auto-fill-android-troubleshooting/#troubleshooting-the-autofill-service).
|
|
|
|
#### Inline Autofill
|
|
|
|
{% callout info %}
|
|
Before you can enable Inline Autofill, enable **Autofill Service**.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
Inline Autofill (*requires Android 11+, a compatible IME (Input Method Editor), and **Autofill Service** to be enabled*) moves the Auto-fill Service overlay into the keyboard:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/auto-fill-android/inline.png Inline Autofill in GBoard %}
|
|
|
|
To enable inline autofill:
|
|
|
|
1. Open your Bitwarden Android app and tap the {% icon fa-cog %} **Settings** tab.
|
|
2. Tap the **Auto-fill Services** option.
|
|
3. Toggle the **Use Inline Autofill** option.
|
|
|
|
If your auto-fill overlay doesn't move into your keyboard, check whether the IME you're using supports Inline.
|
|
|
|
#### Accessibility
|
|
|
|
The Accessibility method will overlap a popup offering to open your Vault to browse [matching Login items]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) when the device is focused on an input:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/auto-fill-android/drawover.png Accessiblity Popup %}
|
|
|
|
To enable the accessibility method:
|
|
|
|
1. Open your Bitwarden Android app and tap the {% icon fa-cog %} **Settings** tab.
|
|
2. Tap the **Auto-fill Services** option.
|
|
3. Toggle the **Use Accessibility** option. You'll be automatically redirected to an Android Settings screen.
|
|
4. In the Services or Downloaded Apps list, tap **Bitwarden** and toggle **Use Bitwarden** from Off → On.
|
|
|
|
You'll be prompted to accept allow Bitwarden permissions on your device. Tapping **Allow** will let Bitwarden read content on the screen to know when to offer auto-fill.
|
|
|
|
{% callout warning %}
|
|
If you're using Android 6+, you must also enable **Draw-Over**.
|
|

|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
#### Draw-Over
|
|
|
|
{% callout info %}
|
|
Before you can enable Draw-Over, enable **Accessibility**.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
Draw-Over (*required to use Accesibility on Android 6+*) will overlap a popup offering to open your Vault to browse [matching Login items]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) when the device is focused on an input:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/auto-fill-android/drawover.png Accessiblity Popup %}
|
|
To enable the Draw-Over method:
|
|
|
|

|
|
2. Tap the **Auto-fill Services** option.
|
|
3. Toggle the **Use Draw-Over** option. You'll be automatically redirected to an Android Settings screen.
|
|
