Instructions for 6.7beta new accessibility mode [Toggle accessibility service off and back on]

teacy123

Hi,
the latest beta claims that I no longer have to switch keyboards to fill fields. Great, finally. However, I am on a Sony XZ1 phone with Oreo and I am not perceiving any difference. What is supposed to happen?

Hey @teacy123! I hope you don't mind I moved your thread to the beta channel. :)

When filing into Chrome and other apps, you should see a Fill with 1Password button. Can you try turning off the 1Password accessibility service and then turning it back on? Are you able to fill after?

Thanks, yes, after turn off/turn on it is working on a site in Chrome.

I'm very glad to hear that! Let us know if you need anything else!

Does this work on Firefox? I got it to work in Chrome, but not Firefox for the same website.

@burn123: As far as I can tell it does not work in Firefox. Maybe they're not using Android's accessibility APIs the way Chrome is.

would be too bad, nice feature

Hey @girtsn. Luckily, that won't affect us too much. Since our accessibility service is actually an accessibility service which helps users, we'll be able to continue using it for filling. So no worries there!
