Investigate autofill compatibility mode #1094

Open jhugman opened 4 years ago

jhugman commented 4 years ago

There is a small chance we can get Chrome working with the autofill compatibility mode. Also see: Advanced autofill scenarios.

If it works, it will mean some changes to the AutofillService (e.g. saving passwords may not work properly, and save won't be triggered reliably).

However, this issue is a spike to investigate if this is a useful avenue to travel down.

In 29, we can detect if the request came from compatibility mode.

Lockwise is worse on Android than it is on iOS. I couldn’t find any way to get passwords to autofill in the Chrome browser, for instance.

As long as this basic feature doesn't work this support article should warn the user of lockwise's limits on android.
