Are you loving kidding me? I've turned off accessibility and have just been using Lastpass' built-in browser in what I thought was a temporary stopgap but I guess that's just how it's going to be.

What are the chances that Google will just leave things half-completed? :v:

In all seriousness though I'd expect them to at least work on it somewhat what with the walking back of the Accessibility cutoff. I know I read in multiple places at the time that the reason for "abusing" Accessibility was "your lovely APIs" and that Google was receptive to that.

Either way if it can't work on my bank's (admittedly terrible) app then it's completely useless for me. I figure if they ever get it to work it will be big enough news to make it to the usual blogs and I'll try it then.

Right, that's what we're talking about. The release version that abuses Accessibility works, the beta that uses the Autofill API designed to do exactly what LastPass intends to do does not.

This is the last I've heard about getting Autofill to work in Chrome and it was three and a half months ago.

Is there a good password manager that uses the new APIs? Right now my whole keychain lives with Google, which is convenient and insecure. The Oreo autofill is pretty dang great with the in-house implementation.
I'd like it if it asked for a fingerprint every time. I have my phone set to pretty aggressively lock, but I also like the convenience of SmartLock.

Good news!

This release allows you to enable both the Android O autofill and the legacy (accessibility) autofill, which will allow you to fill into Chrome. We have also added options under Settings>Autofill to allow you to disable credit card and address fill, which is also disabled by default on new installations. This should resolve most issues with prompting where it shouldn't.

I saw that and intended to try it out.

I meant to ask here though about whether that's a good idea, though, namely because of stuff like this. I've disabled browser autofill on the desktop but never worried about it in Chrome because LastPass always asks for authentication before filling. I couldn't remember if that happened for the Autofill API though. I did forget all about the false positives until we were talking about it, I wonder if they ever got that straightened out.

I was hoping someone here was already dealing with this crap and had it already figured out for me :)

Don't feel bad. It like literally just became possible to do in the last version of android or so, lastpass was basically useless as an android app forever. Renaming the lastpass bookmarklet worked for hacky autofilling into browsers though.

I believe LastPass has been able to autofill login info via the accessibility services for almost 4 years now, but you did need the premium subscription to use the Android app for a while. It worked really well for me for a long time but eventually having the accessibility service would slow my phone down after about 24 hours of uptime so I stopped using the autofill. The beta seems to work great with apps that support Oreo's API so far. Now we just have to wait for every app that requires a login to support it, which I'm sure will happen really, really soon.

In most cases it doesn't require any effort. If you use standard UI components and label them with anything vaguely sensible it just works.

Is there an app that sends Google Play Music listens to ListenBrainz? Simple Last.fm Scrobbler has ListenBrainz support, but doesn't work with current GPM and hasn't been updated since September. Searching "ListenBrainz" on the Google Play Store has proved fruitless.
I don't really know why I want to use the lovely open source version of Last.fm, but I do.

I'm poking around for an app that I'm not sure exists. My roommate and I want to build a bar at home. I wanted to have a tablet running an inventory app that would also sync to our mobile devices. The idea was to have the tablet set inside the bar so that we could poke through what we have without moving a ton of bottles around. (It's not 100% practical but it'd be cool, admittedly). Is there an app that does this? Also is there a way to force Android to only use that app?

For the second part, you can pin apps to the screen so you can't back out of them. Otherwise, I'd bet there's some enterprise solution out there.

Paprika fulfills this function for me.

Remember how we all decided that Chrome's new bottom bar was cool and good? Turns out Google maybe didn't think so. . I hope it's like the article says and they closed the bugs because they're done and this is the way it's going to be because skarsnik was right, Chrome Home is good.

That's actually incorrect, reversing the URL is indeed how package names are started, this stems from Java practices (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/namingpkgs.html). There are a bunch of caveats and edits done to the names, but generally speaking they do stem from URLs.
