Hi! 👋

I've identified and fixed this issue. The problem was that all password input fields in AppFlowy were missing the autofillHints property, which prevents password managers from detecting them.

What I Fixed

I added autofillHints: const [AutofillHints.password] to all 8 password fields across the app:

Files Modified:

Sign-in screen - Login password field
New password setup - Password + confirmation fields
Settings password setup - Initial password + confirmation fields
Settings password change - Current + new + confirmation password fields

The Change

Each password AFTextField now includes:

AFTextField(
  obscureText: true,
  autofillHints: const [AutofillHints.password], // ← Added this line
  // ... other properties
)
