created issue #1

Feb 12, 2025 08:40AM

Jetpack Compose version: 1.8.0-beta01

Jetpack Compose component used: androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling

Android Studio Build: #AI-242.23339.11.2421.12700392

Kotlin version: 2.0.20

When you try to use the new autofill semantics functionality on a textfield with a visualTransformation the password manager will store asterisks as the password instead of the actual value, e.g ******** instead of password, rendering the feature useless. If I remove the visual transformation everything works as intended.

Steps to Reproduce or Code Sample to Reproduce:

OutlinedTextField(
  visualTransformation = if (showPassword) VisualTransformation.None else PasswordVisualTransformation(),
  modifier = Modifier.semantics {
    contentType = ContentType.Password
  }
  ...
)

We have some support in androidx.compose.ui.autofill

Leaving this bug open in case Ralston wants to add more info

I found an example here. One problem is that it only works with the Google autofill service. When using any other service like Microsoft Authenticator or OneKey, the following error is shown:

D/Autofill Status: Autofill popup isn't shown because autofill is not available.
    
    Did you set up autofill?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced > Autofill Service
    2. Pick a service
    
    Did you add an account?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced
    2. Click on the settings icon next to the Autofill Service
    3. Add your account

Is this a bug on your side or do the app developers of these password managers need to change their implementation?

Another problem I am facing with autofill is that it won't save my credentials. I tried forcing to finish the context as described here, but it won't do that either although I filled in the username with the one provided by the Google autofill service.

Facing the same issue here, Google autofill service seems to work. Zero documentation on adding support for Autofill framework on jetpack compose.

Marked as fixed.

Hello, I am trying to implement the same thing - it seems like there's no way for current password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden, to automatically pick up the fields. Is there a possible solution?
