|
|
2. Tap **Tools > bitwarden Auto-fill Service**

|
|
|
Auto-fill is context-sensitive. This means that the bitwarden auto-fill icon, and notification will only appear when it detects a login form or when the password field is selected.
|

|
|
2. Tap the password box
|
|

|
|

|
|
- Your vault will display all matching logins otherwise you may need to manually search for it
|
|
4. Tap the appropriate login
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
**The bitwarden Auto-fill Service keeps getting disabled**
|
|
|
|
Android may turn off the bitwarden Auto-fill Service to optimize battery life. To resolve this you can either:
|
|
- Tell Android to ignore battery optimization for the bitwarden; or
|
|
- Manually turn on the bitwarden Auto-fill Service each time
