How to create and use a Login using Android 8 Autofill

Starting with Android version 8, third-party applications may register as Autofill services for recognized fields including usernames and passwords. Previously, the only way for RoboForm to fill those fields (which is still supported) was via the Android accessibility API.

NOTE: The RoboForm Autofill service will capture usernames and passwords entered into Android apps. However, RoboForm web Logins or those created via the Accessibility object will not populate during Autofill. 

To capture a new Login

1) Navigate to the site/app that you'd like to log in to. Tap the floating RoboForm icon.

2) Tap "Add Login" to open the save dialogue.

3) Name your Login, enter the Username and Password, choose a folder to store it in, check the "Pinned" box if you would like to add it to your pinned list, and fill out any notes you would like to store with the Login. When you are finished, tap the "Save" button at the top right of the screen.

Logging in with the new Login

1) Navigate to the site/app that you'd like to log in to. Tap the floating RoboForm icon.
