Not smart move to change blindly, autofill is also referred to the browser built-in password manager. You need to just switch to android autofill. The latest brave release appears to default android autofill anyway.

    user this was done in a test environment. Regarding switching the autofill source, no such option exists within the brave settings

      user ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled, tried again, and it works. Perfect. Be sure to spread the good word my friend

      user This works! Thank you so much! Do you know if it's some kind of security risk? I'm not sure what "enabled without compatibility check" means.

        user This addressed the same issue with 1password and brave on 2 devices, thank you for sharing!

        RRZishe I'm curious why these flags are not enabled by default on graphene and are on stock android

        user wow that worked thank you. Why would this not be enabled as default I wonder

        The images that clarified the steps needed to fix this are no longer available. For anyone else struggling, first set the flag as described above. Then in regular Settings menu a choice named "Autofill Options" will be appear that has no icon. Tap on "Autofill Options" and you should see a toggle between "Default" and "Use other providers". Select "Use other providers" and restart Brave.

          Can some one reshare the flags required? I'm on a fresh install and need to set this up again.

            Brave no longer has a method to set the autofill options. Apparently this is one thing Brave does differently from other chromium- based browsers.

            At least on mine, there is no such option in Brave's Settings list (as there is in Vanadium's).

            As an aside, I'd love to switch to Vanadium for everything (since it's more secure, and Bitwarden works fine with it) but I just can't migrate my nearly-1000 bookmarks manually, that would take forever.

              Speeduser7533 At least on mine, there is no such option in Brave's Settings list.

              Did you set the flag described in this comment: Dumdum ? The autofill option is there for me when the flag is enabled.

              Yes, enabled without compatibility check.

              But, restarted the browser again (and I had done it before) and this time it enabled the autofill options menu item. I was able to set it to Other Providers and finally, Bitwarden works again.

              Thanks for the assistance!

              Yeah I can't get this to work either despite multiple reboots.

                After a number of reboots, force-closes, etc, I did finally see the "Autofill services" menu item. I know it has been mentioned previously, but at first it looks like a header, since there's no icon to the left. It is clickable. Hop in there and change the default autofill provider.
