Android has had an autofill feature for password managers for years now, but it's broken and needs to be fixed.

Autofill is total shit I agree, but I've been copying and pasting from my password manager for over a decade and it's been fine. I get that autofill would be much less friction, but I really don't mind copying and pasting.

Indeed, I don't particularly even want it to auto fill unless I give it the OK to do so, even if that's as simple as a PIN.

I've got things worked up with bitwarden to a point where I can put in a short pin to unlock it after a timeout (usually set to 15 minutes) and it will pretty well always work so long as the fields for where the user/pass go are found cleanly.

If the pw manager has a "last accessed" sort by default for quick access, it makes it so much better (especially when only the username or password are filled)
