Test Android Oreo's new Autofill feature with LastPass public beta
The fine folks behind LastPass have just announced a public beta for those who want to test some of the new features that Google included in Android 8.0 Oreo. Specifically, the new version of Android comes with Autofill, a feature that is frequently used by LastPass.
Some performance and security improvements have been implemented in the latest version of LastPass too, which can be tested by enrolling in the beta program.
Previously, LastPass relied on Android’s accessibility features to identify password fields we can help you fill. The accessibility approach had two drawbacks: (1) it was processor-intensive, counteracting the time we want to save our users, and (2) it required that users grant us extra permissions. The Android Oreo Autofill framework is purpose-built to allow apps like LastPass to fill eligible forms on a user’s behalf, and nothing else. No extra permissions or processing power required!
The new LastPass public beta is available starting today, but you'll have to opt-in via Google Play Store and leave your feedback on developer's Google+ channel if you feel like it.
