Hi xiscosc, thanks for writing in and letting us know about this issue on your device.

I did some testing with Octopus Energy in Chrome. While I did notice some odd behavior (email field was not always filled), the prompt to fill and autofill itself all occurred in a timely manner.

From Settings > Autofill I'd like to ask you to set "Display Autofill prompts" to "Below the fields they relate to" and "Show filling suggestions" off. With that change of settings does the prompt and filling now occur right away?

If not, could you try a non-Chromium browser, such as Firefox, and let us know if you see the same inconsistent behavior there?

Thanks again!
