Crypto Wallets
Hi guys,
Could you add it so that when I load a crypto wallet and need my password, the autofill option when I click 'passwords' shows crypto wallets.
At the moment on apps like metamask it do...

Bumping this issue for exactly the same reason as OP. I have a MetaMask crypto wallet with a recovery phrase (equivalent to a private key) and a password that actually unlocks the MetaMask app. (I use the same MetaMask password on all devices, so there's only one thing stored for MetaMask in 1P under “password”.) When opening the MetaMask app, the password stored for MetaMask in 1P is not suggested, not even if I add a URL field with “metamask.io” to the crypto wallet. As 1P_Dave you suggest above, this is probably just because only login items with a website get to participate in autofill. So my workaround is to instead make MetaMask a login with a password and no username and to add the recovery phrase as an additional field. But this feels wrong, as now the item doesn't show up under crypto wallets in 1P. I could instead maintain both a login item and a crypto wallet and have them linked to each other, but then I'd either have to duplicate the password across the items or, to avoid duplicating info across the two items, put only the recovery phrase, but not the password, in the crypto wallet.
All of this feels very hacky to work around the simple issue that only login items get to participate in autofill. Ideally, any item at all could have a website added to it, and then on that site any info matching the current form would be suggested. This could be extended to other types of items as well, such as auto filling your passport data on an airline’s booking site, your membership info on a museum’s booking site, a particular identity on a particular website, etc.
