Description

When using Google as Autofill service in Android it automatically detects when a new website's credentials are entered in Firefox and asks to store the credentials. (so pretty much the opposite of filling credentials automatically)

This way entries can be continuously transferred from the Browser to keepass. This migration is what still keeps me from going all out keepass on mobile and therefore overall.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Android Autofill behavior and the existing credential-entry flow in the app, then determine how credentials detected in Firefox could be offered for storage in KeePass. Done means a user can transfer newly entered website credentials from the browser into KeePass through Autofill, with the expected save flow verified on Android.
