After iPhone restart, autofill is empty

[Nazar1ky]

Description
After iPhone restart, autofill is empty, opening app does not help
I can open the database (from files) when autofilling, but then in main app it shows two same opened databases, and if I delete the one I created, autofill becomes again empty and does not see my main opened DB.

Somehow, Chrome and Safari autofill works differently, if I do these steps in Safari, after opening app, DB appears in autofill, but if I do same thing in Chrome DB does not appear

How to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Restart iPhone
2. Open app
3. Try to autofill the password

Expected behavior
The autofill is not empty

Environment:

• Device: iPhone 13
• OS: 26.2.1
• App Version: 2.5

Update: I assume it’s similar to #381

You need to open the Keepassium app once after a restart, refresh the list and then you can use AutoFill with your databases.

There is even a banner telling you to open Keepassium if you do not see all databases in AutoFill.

I did, did you see the screencast, I even tried refreshing (not in screencast)

After opening app, it shows DB when autofilling in Safari, but in Chrome opening app doesn't fix it

After a restart try the following

2. Refresh the list
3. Try AutoFill

and try

1. Try AutoFill
2. Open Keepassium

4. Try AutoFill again

Afterwards tell me if the issue persists.

@Nazar1ky , I wonder if every browser runs a separate instance of the AutoFill process, and keeps it running for a while even in background. So when you open Chrome, then AutoFill, it fails to access the local files, and then gets stuck in that state even after you launch the app and switch back to Chrome.

Try force-closing Chrome and launching it again: does this help?

There is something like this, I noticed after some time Chrome autofill get the local files

If you mean swiping it up (to remove from apps list), no it doesn't

I have no issues with Autofill in DuckDuckGo.

Could you refresh the list by swiping down?

I tried refreshing in the app, does nothing, refreshing in autofill not possible

Update Keepassium to 2.5.171

[Nazar1ky]

Update Keepassium to 2.5.171

I have the latest App Store version, unless you mean Testflight one

Refreshing while there no DB is not possible I think

ok, there "About" in app, I have 2.5.171
