Hello, the firefox autofill for apps on my android phone is not working properly. I have firefox selected in autofill service. I have 'autofill in other apps' selected as well. Sometimes the 'search firefox' prompt appears. When it does I usually have to use biometrics to log in, restart the desired app, and search for the password when prompted again. If I have gotten this far, I am often only able to input the username and not the password. Is there a way to manually pull the prompt? Is there a way to copy the password from the android password manager once it is pulled up? Thank you

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu, select Settings and Logins and Passwords, do you see the credentials for that app saved?

Which app is it where it is not auto-filling your credentials?

If you can see the credentials saved, you can tap the copy icon to copy and paste them across.
