LastPass and Android 11 integration with other input-method editors (IMEs)

[Mitalis]

Android 11 has been out for several months, and I'm surprised that LastPass hasn't been updated to integrate the passwords via the other input-method editors (IMEs). This specific function is detailed here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/ime-autofill

I'm not sure if this would alleviate some of the issues with the autofill not consistently working, but it it'd be nice to have especially since this is basically the same approach that's being used in IOS.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. While our development team does hope to update LastPass on Android 11 to support other input-method editors in the future, we don't yet have any news to share just yet about upcoming releases. I have passed your feedback along to our team as well to show them interest in this idea as well.

It's 2022. You still can't support a feature that's been around in Android for 2 years? Your competitors have done it and it is far more reliable of an autofill option.

Hi @qwerasdf - thank you for the feedback. LastPass recently launched this feature. Please visit our support site for instructions to enable: https://support.lastpass.com/help/how-do-i-enable-and-use-autofill-in-the-lastpass-password-manager-...

Thanks!

Jeezus... 2 years later after Android 11. Okay.

I recommend you update your settings to be more clear. You should NOT recommend users to use the older methods of autofill (pre Oreo). This is only a small fraction of users at this point and using accessibility has severe performance and privacy issues.
