I'll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton

    I'm tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn't work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it's completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn't even pop up. I'm using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).

    Should I switch to Proton?

    Before switching you should maybe read this and wait for the native app : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/

    Wow thanks, I have no idea. That's great news. I'll definitely wait for the native app. But in the meantime I'll try out Proton as a "backup" just in case something bad happens to Bitwarden or my personal vault.

    Sometimes you have to long press on the password box and bitwarden might appear or a little "autofill" option may appear along in the 3 vertical dots pop up. Most of the time, Bitwarden auto pops up for me.

    I feel like if you're already using Bitwarden and you're talking to us on Lemmy, you're not tech illiterate.

    Try the free version and switch to premium if you like it better than bitwarden.

    Same problem on 1password.

    As a mobile developer I can tell you that working with Android keyboards has been a giant fucking pain in ass since inception to today.

    While I can't speak specifically to why they both seem to have this problem, I wouldn't be surprised if the OS is part of the problem.

    I wouldn't be shocked that if someone had it working consistently, it might be because of the most heinous hacks, or private greylisted APIs or some other nonsense.
