LastPass password manager for Android has finally received Android Oreo autofill support. Accessibility option is still available for Older apps and Chrome that don’t support the new implementation. LastPass v4.4.1749 brings you an option to turn on Oreo autofill by going to Settings > Autofill.
The LastPass password manager shows you a brief animation once you toggle for “Autofill” in the Android Oreo and shows you what you’ll have to do next. Once you enable LastPass autofill service as default service, you’ll see a warning if your trust the app and everything else is pretty much is identical to what we saw in the previous LastPass beta supporting Oreo’s autofill API which was rolled out in August.
Android Oreo autofill API offers more seamless and universal experience than the accessibility-based approach. It can recognize address and credit card forms, and they’re available as toggles in LastPass’ settings. However, for now, both these features are tagged as beta features and are turned off by default.
Legacy autofill using accessibility is still available for users who are not on Android Oreo or for anyone who uses Chrome. It also allows LastPass to autofill in apps that aren’t yet compatible with Oreo autofill.
