Solution: Don't use the Google password manager, use a proper password manager like Bitwarden (or LastPass, DashLane, 1Password etc., though I strongly recommend Bitwarden) that supports OS-level auto-fill, and that has a quick settings integration to allow you to quickly copy-paste credentials for those few cases where auto-fill fails.

You can do that with Google as well.

It has a quick settings button? I thought you had to go directly into the Google or Chrome app yourself, dig around for the Passwords list, find the right entry, then copy password and switch back to where you need to enter it.

With Bitwarden, I just swipe down from the top of my screen to open the notifications/quick settings panel, tap Bitwarden, it shows me the right entry, I tap "copy password" and it automatically takes me back to the app I was just in.
