Bitwarden incorrectly shows its accessibility service as disabled

[Cp4QgQbCadDXBo1z2sM9IrXTO3zC3Wsec4gIcKQ]

Describe the Bug

When you press the "Auto-fill" tile in quick settings, you get an error message telling you to enable the accessibility service first. Despite this, autofill still shows up after tapping on a login/password field in most apps, but it doesn't work in browsers like Bromite, Samsung Internet, Mi Browser

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set Bitwarden as your default autofill service
2. Enable Bitwarden as an accessibility service
3. Open a login page
4. Add the Bitwarden Autofill tile to your quick settings and tap on it

Expected Result

The "Autofill with Bitwarden" screen should appear and you should be able to autofill your login credentials

Actual Result

After enabling the Bitwarden accessibility service, the app still shows that it's disabled. When you click on the autofill tile, it shows an error message telling you to enable the accessibility service first.

Environment

• Device: Mi Note 10 Lite
• Operating system: MIUI 11 (Android 10)
• Build Version: 2.5.0 (3093)
• Is this a Beta release? No

Additional Context

I tried switching my system language from Polish to English and it fixed the issue only the first time I opened the app (autofill in Bromite worked as well). After opening the app again it still doesn't acknowledge its service being enabled.

Same as here, poco x3, MIUI 12.0.6 Android 10. But mine is a little different, it's work with browsers but not in bank apps fill. I tried turn off MIUI optimization, lock app, select auto start but it's work only one time, and then stop working.

Can everyone here see if this is still an issue in the current beta (build 3946)?

[FreQm5PEGcsNpc4SfKHTqhrCSn4Yox5i6dpCMNR]

@mportune-bw Forgive me but where can we download this? Is there an APK file somewhere, or a link where I can join the BETA program?

[mpbw2]

@f3bruary You can join the beta on the Bitwarden page in the Play Store app (you should see a link to join somewhere on the page, and you can leave the beta at any time).

[FreQm5PEGcsNpc4SfKHTqhrCSn4Yox5i6dpCMNR]

I tested the beta. Same result. If I enable the a11y feature and go back it says (translated from Dutch)

Service not working properly. Click for more info.

Upon clicking: service is not working properly.

Also, when I force close the app and open it again the a11y option is disabled again.

So pretty much same as before.

My current issues are:

• no popup
• inline (through keyboard app) only works rarely
• logs out when closed (even with 4hr timeout set). Require fingerprint each time I open the app.
• notification tile not working (won't search for matching logins)

[tsI0hdlmSkMj1ZdbY5set52G6isLRxvqokP10kT]

I downloaded the beta version of the app and the issue was resolved

MIUI 12.0.16

[g2xSlLk2gcadwvyB4gxYcWVMa7onctFyVQg4VDT]

Same issue on Blackview BV5900 running Android 9

Like everyone here, the app is enabled in Accessibility, I have also loaded the app beforehand and the title is not greyed out like it can be sometimes but when you press it it gives the error message in screenshot.

[g2xSlLk2gcadwvyB4gxYcWVMa7onctFyVQg4VDT]

I downloaded the beta version of the app and the issue was resolved

MIUI 12.0.16

I am also running the beta version of Bitwarden but the problem persists for me.

[WwzWPkiyo5yjy6BufMGyPF1opOPOvjhGOUOD98w]

I'm using Poco X3 NFC android 11, MIUI 12.5.

I had noticed that if you allow it to autostart bitwarden it's working as expected.

[dY03Dv41HXHJZS0l2LjQRmnGnG7lTx6AINiEg3J]

I too have this issue on a Galaxy A50. In apps (like the intermittent re-authentication in eBay) that have multiple stages for logging in (username, next panel, password) this causes an issue, where BitWarden will show the popover on the username field and input it, but on the next panel with the password it won't show the popover and using the tile will cause the error message to pop up. No way to login except switching to BitWarden, unlocking, searching, opening, copying the password, switching back and pasting the password.

Tab A, Android 12... still an issue. Works for a couple of days, then accessibility is disabled. Very annoying.
