Gboard is adding a new Autofill with Google shortcut to make accessing saved passwords and payment methods faster. The feature appears in the latest Gboard beta (version 15.7.5.787916401) and requires Google Play services 25.30 or newer.
When available on your device, Gboard will prompt you to enable Autofill with Google in the On-screen keyboard settings. Once turned on, you’ll see it in the keyboard’s shortcut grid, and you can also pin it to the suggestions strip. The icon is a square with an asterisk and a small corner pencil.
Tapping the shortcut opens a rectangular Gboard window with two options: Passwords and Payment methods. Passwords will only display credentials for the app you’re currently using, while payment cards require entering their security codes. If no saved data is available, Gboard shows a blank state message.
This is more convenient than waiting for a Gboard suggestion to appear when signing in or making a purchase. In cases where the autofill suggestion fails, you no longer have to manually open the Password Manager and copy credentials.
Right now, Gboard Autofill with Google is not yet widely available. Google is testing the feature with beta users, so a broader rollout will likely follow in the coming weeks.
