isn't password autofill on android a native feature for a long time now? even with third party apps? google tells me it was introduced in oreo.

mozilla does have a product in this segment.

i guess swiftkey does not have it yet.

The default Samsung Keyboard seems to support it. as well as gboard.

samsung keyboard animations in the suggestion bar are too annoying. gboard is just trash lol. i have tried so many times to switch to something else since the microsoft acquisition but nothing else work for me lol.

I just can't deal with samsung keyboard. I reluctantly switched from swiftkey to gboard as it was phoning home to microsoft too often.

Have learned to live with with gboard. The android keyboard is why I still primarily use ios for messenger apps.

my biggest problem with gboard is that after using swiftkey for years, i expect the primary suggestion to be in the middle of the suggestion bar. but pretty much every app puts it on the left. samsung does the same.

they also have a massive issue of not putting space after user enters a period (or something like that). read a blog post recently that it has been sort of fixed with a setting option which is in beta.

swiftkey used to be so good in early days.

For a novice who never used a password manager, I wanted opinions whether keeping one's passwords in a text file & encrypted with SSE (secret space encrypter) free ver just as good. This ofcourse does not have auto fill option.

@socrates it's not even comparable.

1. It's more cumbersome to save everything in a text file. You have to figure out a backup solution, a easy way to decrypt and read the file on all of the devices you use and so on.
2. Password managers also come with password generators built into it. At this point, I literally don't even know any of my passwords other than the bitwarden master password.
3. Most password managers, browsers and others have HIBP integration so you can get a notification when there is a breach and it can also show if any of the passwords you use have been leaked in the past.
