Google is bringing native third-party autofill support to Chrome for Android.
The feature will let you use third-party password managers to autofill passwords, passkeys, addresses, and more.
Native third-party autofill support is live in the latest Chrome beta release and will roll out to the stable channel next month.
Google Chrome for Android received support for autofill with third-party password managers earlier this year. However, the option to set alternate password managers as the default autofill provider was hidden behind a flag, as the feature was buggy and didn’t offer consistent autofill suggestions. Google has ironed out these issues in the latest Chrome beta release, and the feature will finally reach users next month.
In a recent post on the Android Developers Blog, Google revealed that third-party password managers previously had to rely on a compatibility mode to autofill forms in Chrome. This resulted in unexpected glitches like “janky page scrolling and potentially showing duplicate suggestions from Google and a third-party.”
