Improvements to website matching pattern

I'm trying to find a thread again, that was talking about further options how to improve the matching of websites/the autofill behavior.

I remember that I described there, how it would be helpful to have a glob matching or regex pattern matching. Coming back to take a look for the progress, but it seems this thread disappeared.

Thanks and cheers, lumarel

    If we can't have regex path matching for advanced autofill behavior, could we at least change the autofill behavior option from "Only fill on this exact host" to "Only fill on this at this location" (and match anything that begins with the provided URL, including any provided path). This could cover both restricting to (sub)domain and/or path. It would make the feature both more intuitive and useful, IMHO.

    Example use case: single sign-on with different environments (dev, staging, prod) that use different credentials all use the same (sub)domain and are distinguished by path (e.g., realm in path).

    Hi lumarel​! Thanks for writing in. 

    The thread that I believe you're referring to was older and didn't make the cut for migration. As for glob matching, regex matching, or other advanced URI/URL matching options, we don't have any updates to share at this time, but I can confirm a request was submitted on your behalf. 

    I suspect you're aware, but I did want to share our guide covering the autofill behaviour options that are currently available. They may not cover the sort of use case you'd want regex matching for, but can still be quite helpful. 

    Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks again!
