Edge not working as Android password manager Autofill service

The autofill is not working when the default autofill service in Android is set to Edge.

This is extremely frustrating because it prevents you from using passwords saved in Edge.

Once I change the default autofill service to Google, it works everywhere in each app - the passwords are filled (if saved), and if not, I can invoke Google password manager.

With Edge as the default auto fill service, nothing is autofilled, and I can't invoke nothing.

Seems like this is an ongoing issue - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5611209/password-manager-is-not-working-for-my-android-app or https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5566787/pasword-manager-not-filling-in-app-passwords .

I tried restarting, I have the latest Edge and latest Android, but nothing helps.

The only workaround now is to completely STOP USING EDGE and use Chrome instead, so you have your passwords available for autofill in the Android apps.

Android 16.

Please fix this.

    It seems that you are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Edge browser not functioning properly as an autofill service on Android. Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain specific troubleshooting steps or solutions for the autofill issues you are facing with Edge. However, it is noted that the autofill feature is available for users with a non-child Microsoft account and that payment information can sync across devices, which might indicate that some settings need to be configured correctly for Edge to work as intended.

    For now, you might consider checking your Edge settings to ensure that the password manager is enabled and that any necessary permissions for autofill are granted. Additionally, you could look for updates or community discussions regarding this issue, as it appears to be a known problem.
