Does anyone know if Android Opera has plans to support Android's native auto-fill? I would like to use Dashlane with the browser, but it's suggestions aren't popping-up above the keyboard as they do when using other browsers.

@achappel At our company are also interested why Opera does not support Native autofill for our password manager. Our clients ask us in support why does our password manager doesn't fill in Opera, we have to inform them that unfortunately the problem is on Opera's side. However, we recommend users to use "Opera touch" or "Opera mini" to get this functional

@xvega I appreciate your suggestion about using the other versions of Opera. I have tried them, but they lack some of the functionality of the standard version that I use. Until Opera enables it's standard browser to use Android's autofill I've decided to use Kiwi which seems to be the best substitute for me. Thanks for offering your help!

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.

@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...

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.

Still not working now, at least with Microsoft Authenticator. Is there any plan to fix this?
