[Bug] Android - Autofill doesn't work on Login screen, and no paste for password field

marcb3

I use a password manager along with long randomized password for each site/app I use. The text entry fields for username and password in the login screen don't appear to support either the OS built-in Autofill functionality, nor does the password field allow for pasting. I can workaround the Autofill not working by using copy/paste if I need to, but not having paste available for the password field makes typing in my random 20 character password with symbols quite difficult.

Minor nit: Paste does show up in the Email field, but the background color is a darker translucent gray that doesn't match what that Paster button looks like in other apps on the same device.

I can confirm the failure of any kind of password paste on Android 8 / Moto G.

I should have also noted I'm on Android 9 on a Pixel 3.

thanks @marcb3 !

The paste issue should be fixed in the next build and auto-fill on andriod is something we are waiting on a fix for on the framework level

Cheers,
