AutoFill on iPhone and Android

Once Akeyless is turned on as an AutoFill provider, your phone offers your saved Akeyless
logins whenever you tap a username or password field — in Safari, Chrome and other browsers,
and in other apps. One tap fills both the username and the password.

What AutoFill fills

AutoFill does not offer to save a new login you type into another app. Create the item in
Akeyless first, with the site's address under Website URLs.

iPhone

Turn it on

1. Sign in to the Akeyless app at least once, so your logins are available.
2. Open the iPhone Settings app.
3. Go to General → AutoFill & Passwords (iOS 18 and later).
   • On iOS 17: Settings → Passwords → Password Options.
   • On iOS 15 and 16: Settings → Passwords → AutoFill Passwords.
4. Turn on Akeyless.

Fill a login

1. In Safari or another app, tap the username or password field.
2. Matching Akeyless logins appear above the keyboard, showing the username and the site.
   Tap one to fill.
3. Depending on your iPhone's settings, iOS may ask for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
   before it fills. Akeyless adds no extra prompt of its own.

Choose from the full list

If the login you want is not suggested, tap the key icon or Passwords above the
keyboard and choose Akeyless. A list opens:

• It starts with the logins that match the site you are on.
• Use Search to find any login by name, username or website.
• Tap Fill on a row to fill it.

How iPhone matches sites

A login is suggested when the site you are on and one of the item's Website URLs share
the same host, or one is a subdomain of the other. www. is ignored. So an item saved with
example.com is offered on login.example.com, and the other way round.

Android

AutoFill needs Android 8.0 or later.

Turn it on

1. Sign in to the Akeyless app at least once, so your logins are available.

2. Open your phone's Settings and find the Autofill service setting. Its location
   varies by manufacturer and Android version — common paths are:

   • Settings → Passwords & accounts → Autofill service
   • Settings → System → Languages & input → Autofill service

   If you cannot find it, search Settings for autofill.

3. Choose Akeyless, and confirm that you trust the app.

Chrome: one more step

Chrome uses its own password manager unless you tell it otherwise:

1. Open Chrome → ⋮ → Settings → Autofill services.
2. Select Autofill using another service.
3. Restart Chrome if asked.

Akeyless also fills in Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet, Opera and
DuckDuckGo.

Fill a login

1. Tap the username or password field.
2. A dropdown lists the matching Akeyless logins, each with its name and username.
3. Tap one to fill the username and password.

If nothing matches, no Akeyless suggestion appears. Open the Akeyless app and copy the
password instead, or add the site's address to the item.

How Android matches sites and apps

Matching on Android works in one direction: an item saved with example.com is offered on
login.example.com, but an item saved with login.example.com is not offered on
example.com. Save the shortest address the site uses.

Keeping AutoFill up to date

AutoFill works from a copy of your logins kept encrypted on the phone. The app refreshes that
copy whenever it loads your vault, so:

• After adding or changing a login elsewhere — in the web extension or the console —
  open the Akeyless app once, or pull down to refresh, before you expect AutoFill to offer it.
• After signing out, every login is removed from the phone's AutoFill straight away. Sign
  in again to bring them back.

On iPhone, the full list can also look up a site's logins directly in Akeyless, so a login
added elsewhere may appear there before the app has refreshed.
