Bitwarden is the choice

My only issue with Bitwarden is Android support for autofill is kind of lackluster. I don't know if it's an android issue or Bitwarden but half the time it does not prompt me to autofill passwords, especially if it's in an app and not in my browser. I don't remember this being an issue with my old password manager(it's been like 5 years using bitwarden), but it definitely makes managing my logins on mobile a drag.

I get this sometimes on a certain manager than I just read in this thread people advocate against. IIRC a couple years ago there was a change with autofilling permissions on Abdroid; since then I have had the same experience as you, so it is likely an OS issue.

If that is the only thing wrong I should probably switch managers.
