Description
Description
When system Dark Mode is enabled, the password autofill field shows white text on a white background, making the content unreadable.
This happens consistently across different browsers and devices.
The text is still clickable, but since it is not visible, it is impossible to know which suggestion is being selected when multiple entries are shown.

When Dark Mode is disabled, the issue disappears and the text is displayed correctly (dark text on white background).
Environment
Devices:
Samsung Galaxy Fold 7
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
Android version: current Android version (One UI)
Browsers tested:
Google Chrome
Vivaldi
Mozilla Firefox
System setting: Dark Mode enabled
Steps to Reproduce
Enable system-wide Dark Mode on the device
Open any browser (Chrome, Vivaldi, or Firefox)
Navigate to a login page using Passman / password autofill
Tap the password input field to show autofill suggestions
Actual Behavior
Autofill suggestions are displayed with white text on a white background
Text is not readable
Suggestions are still clickable, but invisible
Expected Behavior
Autofill text should remain readable in Dark Mode
Either:
Dark text on a light background, or
Light text on a dark background
Autofill suggestions should be clearly visible and distinguishable
Additional Notes
Disabling Dark Mode immediately fixes the issue
This suggests a missing or incorrect handling of Dark Mode / forced dark theming
The issue occurs regardless of the browser used
