Android Regression in Android Autofill UX: Proposal to make the new inline dropdown optional
Has anyone else found the recent Autofill UI update on Android to be a major step backward in terms of user experience?
About a month ago, the Autofill behavior changed from displaying suggestions above the keyboard (keyboard accessory view) to showing an inline dropdown directly attached to the text fields. Ever since this update, it has been causing several frustrating issues:
- Flickering UI: The suggestion menu constantly flickers right beneath the text input field while trying to type.
- Focus Hijacking: When tapping a field to type manually, the Autofill prompt pops up and interrupts focus, making standard typing difficult.
- Severe Glitches / Keyboard Closure: In certain apps, the dropdown gets permanently stuck on screen. As soon as the keyboard opens, the Autofill overlay instantly forces it closed, completely blocking input.
The previous UI—where suggestions appeared quietly above the keyboard—was far more reliable, non-intrusive, and user-friendly. It stayed out of the way until needed, rather than constantly fighting for screen focus and disrupting thProposed Solution:
Rather than forcing the inline UI on everyone, please consider adding a toggle setting in the app (e.g., Settings > Autofill Style) that allows users to switch back to the classic keyboard-attached suggestions. This would give users who prefer the less intrusive, seamless experience the option to keep using it without disrupting those who like the new design.
Is anyone else experiencing these UI glitches on Android? I hope the 1Password team sees this and considers giving us the choice.
