No search with autofill #348

If you open the app (on iOS) and a kdbx file, the groups in the file are displayed nicely and you can easily navigate to the desired password. However, if you press the "Password" button (above the keyboard) and no clearly matching password is found, then you get to an absolutely useless search function and unfortunately have no way of displaying the handy groups in the file.

If you press the "Password" button, you should also be able to switch to the group view!

This is by design. The purpose of the app is to view, edit and rearrange groups and entries. In contrast, the AutoFill dialog has a much narrower purpose: find one entry. No viewing, no editing, no rearranging, no groups — just find one entry.

If you believe groups are necessary in AutoFill, I would appreciate a more detailed description of why this is important for you.

An example: I have to open my page example.com via IP 192.168.178.2. The IP is not stored in the kdbx file. If I now open the page (on my mobile phone) and press the password button, KeePassium is opened and nothing is displayed! Because it finds nothing. Now I have to manually open KeePassium twice and manually copy the username and password. If the "normal" view could also be displayed, I would only have to navigate to the known set up entry and the data would be filled in.

If I find more examples, I will update them.

Why not add the IP to the relevant entry? If this is not an option, why not find the entry by a few letters of its title?

I have now looked again very carefully and I have never noticed the magnifying glass symbol on the right-hand side before. That solves the problem, of course 🙃

Thank you very much!

You can also pull down the list slightly to reveal the search field. This is a standard iOS gesture, it works in many apps (Notes, Reminders, Messages, Mail, even Settings).
