Native Android auto-fill support

There is this dirty hack for Opera browsers, if you put the cursor in the field you need to fill, open the notifications panel and then close it, then the Autofill Service gets called.

@xvegadev Wow, works great! Don't know why this can't be automatic but thank you so much!

I've raised this as a bug relating to the latest version of Opera for Android, ref. OFABUGS-4534

In the latest updates they said improvement "- Improved support for external password managers", but unfortunately this still doesn't work with 1password .

I have raise it too, so let's hope they will get there

@xvegadev Maybe this trick used to work on Android 13, but it definitely doesn't work anymore on version 14.

@toriigate I've just tried wit latest version of opera, 75.5.4195.76987 on a pixel7a running latest beta of android AP11.231215.007 with our product RoboForm (v. 9.5.4.18 latest), and autofill seems to be working even without the trick!

@xvega Latest version of Opera for Android is 79.4.4195.76850 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser).

Does RoboForm use the native Android autofill API, or does it leverage the accessibility function?

@toriigate yes, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser I get latest version 79.5.4195.76987 released on Jan 11, although I'm not in beta program, maybe they did a staged rollout (only a percent of users get the latest release). RoboForm uses only Native Autofill API.

@xvega I am very confused now. I've tried literally all the other major password managers on the market (1Password, Bitwarden, Keeper, Dashlane and Enpass) and none of them work with Opera through the autofill API... Did you do anything unusual or different when you implemented this functionality in RoboForm?

@achappel Opera for Android had not fully integrated with Android's native auto-fill feature.

@iamawais55 And yet, I have just tried @XVega 's suggestion and RoboForm does seem to work fine in Opera through native autofill and NO accessibility enabled...

@toriigate
It's great to hear. Opera may be improving its compatibility with password managers. I have to stay connected with recent updates.

@iamawais55 If you read my previous posts, it's still hit or miss. Most password don't seem to be working yet, only RF.
