Thank you for sending this over @TBoned87

Banking websites are known for making it notoriously difficult for password managers to autofill. I am unable to access the specific page to test it out but based on the information you have provided I’m not sure we will be able to auto fill these fields.

It looks like the ID of the fields in this case is ‘charXPos’, ‘charYPos’ and ‘charZPos’. I’m not sure labelling the fields after these will help in this scenario as it’s likely that each time you log in, the website will require a different 3 characters. The ID of the field will remain the same but the place holder text telling you which character to input will differ.

I think in this scenario I would recommend saving each character of your password as you have done so and then dragging and dropping the characters into the fields when required.

I hope this makes sense, I’m sorry I can’t be of more assistance!
