Autofill not working
-
Hi there,
I'm issuing a somehow strange behaviour with autofill on exactly one page. Elsewhere autofill works like a charm.I checked the source & found that snippet:
<form class="form insertPoint credentialform" action="/nf/auth/doAuthentication.do" method="POST"><div class="field CredentialTypenone"><div class="left"><h1><span>Willkommen, bitte melden Sie sich an...</span></h1></div></div><div class="field CredentialTypeusername"><div class="left"><label class="label plain" for="login">E-Mail-Adresse</label></div><div class="right"><input name="login" id="login" type="text" placeholder="[email protected]" title="[email protected]" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false"></div></div><div class="field buttonsrow"><div class="buttonscontainer right"><a id="Logon" href="#" class="button forms-authentication-button last-child default">Beginnen</a></div><div class="spinner" style="visibility: hidden"><img src="receiver/images/common/authspinner.gif" alt=""></div></div><div class="spacer"></div></form>Using Vivaldi on my Android everything is fine; also with Chrome using my notebook.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

@Chipy The field has
autocomplete="off", means website: forbid browser to insert a login. -
@DoctorG Thanks for your fast answer & the adive.
That explains everything.If I haven't been so frustrated, I obviously would check the snippet more precisely.
Is there maybe a workaround?
And why does it work in Vivaldi on Android and in Chrome? -
@Chipy I do not know why browser does not use autofill.
Perhaps page visited with http://… instead https? Browser only inserts login over secure connections.
Had you checked in Vivaldi internal page
chrome://settings/passwordsif you have the domain in section "Nie speichern für…"? -

No, the visited pages is https://.
If I put only http://, it redirects me to https://.Had you checked in Vivaldi internal page
chrome://settings/passwordsif you have the domain in section "Nie speichern für…"?No, there are no entries.
With DevTools, I changed autocomplete="off" to "on" and obviously it worked like a charm.
Maybe there is another workaround for Vivladi?
Fill out the form using notes is not soooo comfortable. -

Perhaps a extension. , but i never tested that, but you can.

Most times when a site author sets a field to not autofill it is for understandable reasons but, sadly, other time it is not. When I encounter the latter I tend to use a password manager's auto-type function to fill those fields.

Yes, a external password manager ist the best way, because the internal (chromium-core-based) of Vivaldi is not perfect and sometimes saves wrong logins.

Thank you once again for your advice.
The suggested extension works like a charm.Actually, I'm also a geek using extension for almost everything. I don't understand, why I haven't checked it out by myself before.
Too much work, too less vacations...

Thanks for your adivce.
But I prefer the internal (chromium-core-based) of Vivaldi, which I'm actually also using.
