We append those characters as instructions to the extension, essentially saying "when this page loads, fill this entry's credentials"
The best suggestion we have at the moment is to open your browser and navigate to those sites manually. Then you can use the extension to fill on that page (as opposed to using open and fill from the desktop app).
However, I am not sure I understand the explanation provided. The 2 statements above seem to contradict each other. The Windows app provided those extra characters as instructions to the extension but the extension is able to retrieve and auto-fill credentials perfectly fine without them.
Also, that thread is dated March 2022 and this issue still exists in the latest Windows beta/nightly. Little disappointing.
