What Is Autofill?
Autofill lets DavianVault automatically fill in your usernames and passwords in other apps and websites on your device. Instead of switching to DavianVault, copying a password, and pasting it — autofill does it for you in one tap.
What You See
Where: Settings → Data & Sync → Autofill Settings
The Autofill Settings screen shows:
A status card showing whether autofill is currently enabled:
- Green checkmark: "Autofill Enabled"
- Info icon: "Autofill Disabled" — with an "Enable Autofill" button
"How Autofill Works" section with three steps:
- Enable Autofill in your device settings
- Unlock Your Vault
- Fill Automatically — your credentials are filled into login fields
"Platform Instructions" section with step-by-step setup guide for your platform
Security Notice: "Autofill only works when your vault is unlocked. Your passwords are never stored outside the encrypted vault."
How to Set Up Autofill
On Android
- Tap "Enable Autofill" in the DavianVault settings
- You'll be taken to your device's Autofill settings
- Select DavianVault as your autofill service
- Return to DavianVault — the status should now show "Autofill Enabled"
Or manually:
- Open your device's Settings app
- Go to System → Language & Input → Autofill Service (may vary by device)
- Select DavianVault
On iOS
- Open the Settings app on your device
- Go to Passwords → AutoFill Passwords
- Enable AutoFill Passwords
- Select DavianVault from the list of password providers
On Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Autofill APIs are mobile-only — desktop platforms don't support system-level autofill services. On desktop:
- Use DavianVault's copy buttons to copy credentials
- Paste them into login fields manually
- The clipboard auto-clears after 30 seconds for security
How Autofill Works in Practice
- Open an app or website with a login form
- Tap the username or password field
- Your device shows a suggestion from DavianVault (if a matching entry exists)
- Tap the suggestion to fill in your credentials
- Your vault must be unlocked for autofill to work — if it's locked, you'll be prompted to unlock first
Important Notes
- Autofill only works when your vault is unlocked — your passwords are never exposed when the vault is locked
- Your passwords are never stored outside the encrypted vault — autofill reads them from the vault in real time
- Autofill matches credentials by website URL or app package name
- If no matching entry is found, no suggestion appears
- You can have only one autofill service active at a time on your device — enabling DavianVault will replace any other autofill service (like Google's)
