On my bank's website, direct.com, Chrome will auto-fill the password after I enter the username, but it doesn't auto-fill the username by itself.
I read in Chrome auto-fill username/passwords is inconsistant that this can happen if there are multiple usernames saved. I checked the Chrome Password Manager, and this isn't the case. Also, in my experience, when there are multiple usernames, clicking on the username field will display a menu of the remembered usernames. But that doesn't happen here.
The HTML for the username field is:
<input id="userid" maxlength="256" name="userid" type="text" class="formTextHeader placeholder" placeholder="USERNAME" value="" aria-label="User Name">
Is it because the name is userid
rather than something more standard like username
?
The form has autocomplete="off"
set, but apparently Chrome ignores that because it's filling in the password.
It's been like this for years, through multiple MacOS and Chrome upgrades.
The username is already saved in the Chrome password manager. The problem is just that it doesn't fill that field in automatically. I have to type the password by hand, then it auto-fills the password. – Barmar – 2019-10-07T14:45:21.597
Ah yeah. Sorry for not clarifying. I suspected that there is a slight possibility that this still helps you. By giving the browser the id/name of the username input field. But this is a bit of a long shot. I don't really expect it to work. – Carolus – 2019-10-07T14:49:21.273
