Description
Describe the bug
Autotype from bitwarden app into basic authentication prompt does not work.
It looks like the DDG app is sending its own Id to Bitwarden instead of the site name. This works correctly on authentication boxes embedded in a web page.
How to Reproduce
- Go to a site requiring basic authentication
- Click the bitwarden auto fill button
Expected behavior
Username/password are typed into the prompt
Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.102.2
- Device: Pixel 3
- OS: Android 12

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android 12 with a site requiring a basic authentication prompt, then trace the app's handling of that prompt and its Bitwarden autofill interaction. Done means Bitwarden receives the site's name rather than the DDG app's own ID and username/password are entered into the prompt.
