Problem you are trying to solve

I would be nice if K-9s new account creation screen would support Android's newish ime autofill option. allowing me to fill the inputs with data from my password manager. Currently I have to paste passwords manually since my keyboard doesn't display the autofill option at all, neither for mail nor password fields.

Suggested solution

what is ime autofill? how it looks like on the keyboard app

This is similar to #6244 but not the same. I am exclusively asking for IME autofill support while the other ticket asked for both inputs to be fillable at once (with the old-style password manager overlay, not the new one)

Ok you might say it's a duplicate of https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/3646#issuecomment-429172116 But that issue is 5 years old and some things might have changed since then/I wanted to bring up IME autofill.

The IME autofill currently doesn't work very well with the Jetpack Compose UI. We wan't to upgrade from Material 2 to 3 first and then reevaluate how this could be supported.

Can you check if this is still an issue in Thunderbird Beta? We're on Material 3 now.

I just verified this is neither working for enpass nor lastpass. Android 14, Pixel 7 Pro
