Taking Autofill to the Next Level: User-Guided Field Mapping & Transparency
1. Feature Needed: User-Assisted Autofill Field Selection & Transparency Indicator To resolve issues where autofill fails due to complex HTML, shadow DOMs, or non-standard pop-up/iframe structures, please consider implementing a dynamic manual target selection tool:
-
Manual Target Selection: Allow users to right-click or use a browser extension tool (e.g., "Set as Username/Password Field") to manually map an HTML element to a stored credentials entry for future auto-detection.
-
Autofill Status / Failure Transparency: If the extension detects an input form or pop-up window but cannot reliably parse the target fields, display an explicit status indicator (e.g., "Form detected, but autofill fields could not be mapped") rather than failing silently.
2. Bug Report: Inconsistent Autofill Execution on the Same URL I am experiencing intermittent autofill behavior on an identical URL without any variation in the link:
-
Symptom: On the exact same page, the extension successfully detects and populates the login fields on some visits, but fails entirely on others without user intervention or structure changes.
-
Expected Behavior: Consistent field recognition and autofill across sessions on identical domain paths and DOM structures.
-
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken: Cleared extension cache, verified URL matching rules (exact host/path matching), and confirmed no conflicting third-party form-fill extensions are active.
