Proton Pass Autofill suddenly not working on my Android (leminal.space)

I just wanted to sign into Mastodon on my phone in my browser but couldn't autofill in the login data from Proton Pass. It had worked about an hour ago but suddenly doesn't work anymore, regardless of which website or which browser I use. I reinstalled Proton Pass and checked that Autofill is on but still nothing.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I find that Proton Pass isn't great at detecting username/password fields and sometimes just fails miserably for seemingly no reason.

I've had your issue before but it just started working again without any interaction by me. My only suggestion is standard stuff like rebooting the phone/uninstall-reinstall/etc.

Yeah it suddenly started working again for no apparent reason. I only recently moved all my passwords to Proton Pass and have been happy with it so far. I hope this doesn't become a recurring issue, I'm not in the mood and don't have the spoons atm to switch to a different app 🤞
