Description

### Steps To Reproduce

When I open Bitwarden on Android (Android 16 with latest October Update) on my Pixel 9a the following popup shows up from time to time (but not always):

"Enable Browser Autofill to keep filling passwords".

Note:
Auto-fill Service is active
Use Chrome auto-fill service is active
Use accessibility is active

Chrome / Android is configured to use Bitwarden as "Auto-fill service".

I switched forth and back between "Bitwarden and Google Auto-fill service", I cleared the cache of Bitwarden and Chrome, but no luck the popup shows up from time to time, when it shows up auto-fill is not working (I can select a user/pwd from an input field, but neither the user nor the password field is filled with the selected entry).

Deactivate "use chrome auto-fill service" and enable it again makes auto-fill working again for some time and the popup does not show up.

Any help would highly be appreciated.

### Expected Result

No popup should be shown when the corresponding setting is set and auto-fill should work.

### Actual Result

The popup is shown from time to time and auto-fill is not working.
