Before the API, this required clunky accessibility plugins and workarounds, but it's now baked into Android itself. As long as you're one of the 1.1% of Android users on Oreo (8.0 or 8.1), follow our guide to enable the feature and enjoy the convenience of Autofill API.Don't Miss: It's Really No Contest — LastPass Is the Best Password Manager for iPhone & Android
