Unable to autofill login with the Passwords app on Android
In the Android settings I am unable to set Dropbox is one of my password providers so while I'm inside of another application I'm unable to autofill that section from the keyboard menu. Also I'm having issues getting back into the Dropbox application if I open it and then move into a different application and then go back into Dropbox password it hangs up.

Hey NacNac, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Have you added the logins you're having trouble with to the Dropbox Passwords app?
Meaning, if you open the Passwords app and manually add the login of the app in question and then go back to that app, does it autofill your login?
Also, when you say that the Passwords app 'hangs up', do you mean that it crashes completely or does it get stuck?
Keep me posted.
- In many cases no it will not autofill. Using other password managers in the past you would select the text box and you would either get a drop down or on my keyboard it would suggest logins I already had in that app. I believe this is because Android doesn't recognize your app as a password app in the settings but will allow your app to be a default password autofill. With Dropbox pass it either auto fills or it doesn't work at all which requires me to manually open the app. That brings us to the hang up. Open the app once it fires up great, if you switch to another application and then try to open password app again it gets stuck at the logo screen. No matter how many times you back out it's the same. In order to fix you have to kill the app and then retry.
