make sure password managers work with the site

@Miodec this does not appear to be the case any more.
FFs built in did catch it, but bitwarden failed.
(also, the sign up form was not cleared after signing up. The content was still there)

What do you mean 'catch it but bitwarden failed'

[greenbigfrog]

The built in password manager in FF popped up asking if I want to save the login, but bitwarden did not.

I cannot make auto-fill work with Bitwarden.
It fills up the registration form and leaves the login form empty.

@Miodec, please check this resource to make it compatible with password managers.

Quoting the relevant section:

Use autocomplete="current-password" and id="current-password" for the password input in a sign-in form, or the input for the user's old password in a change-password form. This tells the browser that you want it to use the current password that it has stored for the site.
For a sign-up form:

<input type="password" autocomplete="new-password" id="new-password" …>

For sign-in:

<input type="password" autocomplete="current-password" id="current-password" …>

Followed the rules, pushed an update. Check now.

I checked the forms and they conform with the conventions, great! Bitwarden still fails to auto-fill the login form so I filed an auto-fill failure report. I guess it's on Bitwarden now. Either way, I think this was productive, thanks for the quick fix. 🙂

Thanks for opening an issue, I was so confused as to where the issue was!

I don't understand any of this mate. How exactly can I fix bitwarden autofill issue? Can you explain step by step ?

@pc00per Bitwarden has to fix their own broken autofill mechanism -- nothing you can do at the moment.
