Comment on LastPass’ Authenticator app is not secureparent

Comments

The ability to fill password in Android app. The last time I checked there's no competitors doing this.

I'm hoping the Autofill API in Android Oreo can bring more competition.

1password registers a specific keyboard... but I'm not a big fan of that method. It's a terrible keyboard tbh.

I was actually surprised that 1password never implemented in-app password fill using accessibility API.

Dashlane does that.

Been with it since beta and have never had an issue with it, it's the one I always recommend.

Bitwarden supports autofill through accessibility services and through Oreo autofill.

keepassdroid lets you do that via copying data to the clipboard. Not a great solution, but it works

Every password manager allow you to copy/paste your password. This is NOT a solution.

Interesting, because it works for me. Now that may not be a solution that works for you, but it clearly is a solution.

The clipboard is insecure and can be accessed by any app that is running.

It's not a secure solution, period end of story, to copy paste a password to a shared location on the device that all running processes can access.

I mean, there's the guide. I wouldn't put my passwords on the clipboard, personally.

Keepass2Android has a custom keyboard to auto-type usernames/passwords.
