Google brings improvements to Chrome on Android that allow password administrators on the mobile version to easily auto-fill forms.
Google is implementing a new update to Chrome on Android that will improve the use of password managers. Apps including 1Password will thus be able to automatically fill out forms on websites in Chrome. Users could already set their preferred service, but Google admits in a blog that the “compatibility mode” caused websites to falter. Google will make this update next month.
Forms completed automatically
A new update for the Chrome mobile browser on Android is coming. Google is making it easier to use password managers, such as 1Password, for example, in Chrome on Android. It was previously possible to set a third-party password manager as a preferred service. However, due to “compatibility mode,” this caused malfunctions in Chrome such as faltering websites.

Google says it has fixed this problem in the next update, which means that third-party password managers do now offer a smoother experience in Chrome on Android. Google is pushing this update next month. This new feature will be available starting with Chrome 131.
“With this upcoming change, Chrome on Android will allow third-party autofill services to auto-fill forms, giving users a smoother and easier user experience,” said Eiji Kitamura, Developer Advocate at Google Chrome.
