![]() ![]() Because of the traditional mobile manufacturer lag in sending updates to older phones, some will only have received this change much more recently. Xioami introduced a new permission a couple of years ago, labelled in settings as Display pop-up windows while running in the background. The reason that I'm documenting this is because my own searches hadn't found the answer to what, presumably, is quite a common issue for Xiaomi users, so I wanted to try and help surface the information. This post details the cause and the annoyingly simple fix for this issue.įirstly, I'm not the original source of this fix.Īll credit goes to the 1Password Support Team who resolved the issue for me in a single email ![]() Inter-app communication clearly worked, because the prompt always showed options relevant to the current page, it just seemed unable to push passwords into the form. I tried variations, but it didn't work even if I logged into the password manager app first. Selecting an option did nothing, credentials weren't filled and choosing Open 1Password didn't result in the app being opened. The broken behaviour was quite odd, a prompt would still be shown detailing available and relevant credentials Instead, I had to switch into their app, copy the credentials to the clipboard, switch back to the browser and attempt to paste (hoping that the site I was on hadn't stupidly disabled paste on it's login form). There isn't/wasn't an Android build of KeepassXC, so I was using the Keepass2Android app on my phone.Īlthough very good password managers, both Keepass2Android and 1Password encountered issues on my Android phone.īoth apps worked flawlessly, initially, but at some point their respective integrations stopped working and it was no longer possible to have them insert credentials into login forms for me. I previously used KeepassXC but have since migrated most credentials over to 1Password because of the ability to share vaults (this forms part of my approach to avoiding lockout, as well as helping ensure continued access if something nasty were to happen to me). Like many others, I store my credentials in a password manager. ![]()
