Support for username/password auto complete

Open djechelon opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I would like to ask support for password autocomplete features in Android version when creating a new SFTP host. I am user of the open source package Keepass2Android.

Normally wherever I long-tap a username/password field Android displays me an "auto complete" option where I can use Keepass2.

I believe (but I don't use such feature, I always refuse to save) that if you save your passwords to your Google Account in various apps the auto complete prompt will appear offering your Google-saved password(s)

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install the Keepass2Android Password Safe app from Play
  • From within that app, configure your desired SFTP account
  • From RemoteFiles, try to create a new account
  • Long-tap on Username or Password field

Expected

Android should prompt you to "Auto Complete with Keepass2"

Actual

You just get "Paste"

Workaround: Keepass2 allows you to copy user & pass to clipboard, which is what I am going to do in the meantime

Of course Keepass2 is just any of the password managers available. There should be APIs to integrate with auto complete. Please bear in mind
