Enable Auto-fill Option on Android (Latest Version)

We all have forgotten our password for a website or a service at one point or another. It’s absolutely dreadful as you have to go through that “forgot password” thing all over again. Then the long processes of verification and adding a new password comes in.

Chances are that after some months, you are going to forget that account details too. It is no lie that we often wish for a system to enter our passwords as soon as we use the website. The login process then becomes as easy as pie.

Hearing our prayers, many third-party software vendors have made password managers that store and input our passwords as soon as the login page loads.

How to Setup Auto-fill option on Android Latest Version

With Android latest version, Google brought in their own password manager. With this new feature, all your passwords to your account will be saved in the cloud securely.

Hence, you don’t need any third-party software to manage your passwords. The system is very simple to understand and use.

But now with the first few rollouts of the android version, many claims that this feature is missing from their Android phones.
