Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.

Description of the issue:

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Enable external autofill providers (I set 1password), restart browser.

  2. Exit Brave again using the exit option

  3. Start using browser

  4. After some time (this time, simply 30m), it stops working. Autofill options show on my keyboard (Gboard), I select it, but no autofill happens. 1password assumes it went correctly, and puts my OTP in my clipboard.

Expected result

Autofill works correctly, fills in username and password.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Brave 1.82.166, Chromium 140.0.7339.133

Mobile Device details

Android 16; Build/BP3A.250905.014

Google Pixel 8

Additional Information:

Has been happening ever since the update with the external autofill providers option in June? I believe.

Same here. Pixel 10 Pro XL with Android 16, 1Password

There is an annoying workaround. Once autofill stops working:

  1. Settings / Autofill Services

  2. Change to Autofill with Brave

  3. restart Brave

  4. go back to step 1, but this time change back to Autofill with other service

  5. restart Brave - Autofill from 1Password will work again, for a while

This is only slightly better (at least for me) than switching back and forth between Brave and 1Password manually copying login and password.

My current workaround is abit simpler. You select the 3 dots and you click Exit. That tends to make it work again

4

That is a better one. It also happens in Chrome, So I guess Brave inherited it.
