Hey all, I'm having some issues with Fully Kiosk Browser and Home Assistant authentication and would appreciate your help!
Issue:

Fully Kiosk Browser (version 1.57.1-play) on my Android tablet isn't automatically logging into my Home Assistant dashboard. It keeps getting stuck on the Home Assistant login screen.

Setup details:

Tablet: Android 14 (device: A20)
Home Assistant URL: http://192.168.110.2/dashboard-kitchen/0
Tried using the build in HTTP username/Password in FKB
Using a dedicated Home Assistant user with a generated long-lived token, but still being redirected to the login page instead of auto-login.

Could someone help me understand why the long-lived token isn't working or guide me on a better way (e.g., trusted networks) to achieve automatic authentication with Fully Kiosk Browser?

Thanks in advance!

I've used FKB for years and never had any issues with staying logged in. My assumption is maybe FKB does not have cookies enabled.
You mentioned that the log in screen keeps getting stuck. I'm not sure but I want to say that that is a WebView issue and it probably needs to be updated. On my tablet, it is listed as Amazon System WebView version 92 and 4515.115.42.
I don't think FKB uses long-live tokens. I checked my set-up and the only LLTs are for VSCode and Hass.Agent. I do have a user set up for the tablets/FKB. Looking at the current tokens for the tablet user, it does show a regular token currently being used and it expires in 3 months. There's also the option to disable the token expiration but I do not have that selected.
In FKB, try going to Settings > Advanced Web Settings and ensure Enabled third party cookies is turned on.
I would double check the date and time on the device is accurate.
Lastly, I would ensure Keep me logged in is ticked when logging in, once that starts working. (I do not use the username/password for basic HTTP auth setting in FKB.)
I'm also running FKB v1.53.1 on Amazon Fire tablets at the moment but I can try upgrading to see if I can replicate the issue.

Thanks for this @coral kite. I was trying to really achive auto login via the username/password for basic HTTP auth setting in FKB. from what I understand now because HA don't play nicely when trying to do this.. I have now enable the tablet to auto login using the following.. hopeful it will help other. Thanks again for your detailed input tho

homeassistant:
auth_providers:
- type: trusted_networks
trusted_networks:
- 192.168.XXX.XXX
trusted_users:
192.168.XXX.XXX:
- ID of the user / tablet I need to login
allow_bypass_login: true
- type: homeassistant

HA login doesn't use tthe "Basic HTTP Auth" methods, so that setting won't do anything

#

I always just type in the username/password of my "tablet" user in the login screen like normal and check the Remember box
