Description

Hello,
In my native Cordova Android app, password autofill hints on the keyboard don’t work when filling out a form. All HTML tags are correctly specified. On iOS, everything works fine. However, if I set ``, the password hints start working. This solution is not suitable for me.

How does AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled affect password autofill, and what are some alternative ways to solve this issue?
