I'm a pretty big fan of BitWarden/VaultWarden myself... though relatively recently something changed on my Android phone in that the password fills aren't working from inside my browser, I have to copy/paste from the app, which is not only irritating but potentially less safe.

Consider adding the widget/action to your quick actions: then to don't need to copy paste at least

For those of us unfamiliar, can you describe the resulting UI pattern? Do you give focus to the password field and then tap a button at the top of the notification shade which automatically types (or gives a choice, if multiple are saved) whatever the password manager has for that site? I'm slightly surprised that something running in that context would know what site the browser has open.

It appears to work... I wasn't even really aware I could add such a thing until the GP comment. I also managed to get the integrated use working... apparently there's now a separate config option for "chrome integration" and "brave integration" etc.

It reads the browser URL through an accessibility service.
