Google is making improvements to Chrome for Android that make it easier for mobile password managers to autofill forms.

Google says it will have fixed this issue in the next update, meaning third-party password managers will now offer a smoother experience in Chrome on Android. Google will implement this update next month. This new feature will be available starting with Chrome 131.

“With this upcoming change, Chrome on Android will enable third-party autofill services to automatically fill forms, providing users with a smoother and easier experience,” said Eiji Kitamura, Developer Advocate at Google Chrome.
