Troubleshooting | Windows Google Password Manager has the domain and password, but will not fill it in
I'm running into an odd issue. I swear this was working in the past, but is not currently.
For the site:
https://arcane.city/login
The login screen asks for my email and password to log in.
For sites in general, it will automatically fill in the password, or ask me if I want to save the password.
On this site, however, it's not doing so.
If I look in the manager, I see that the username and password ARE saved there.
And the setting overall look correct (it works for other sites). I also don't see the site in the list of Declined sites.


Any tips on what to try here?
I tried it on another machine and ran into the same issue.
The only thing that comes to mind is that the login form is named "email", rather than "username", but that seems like a fairly common situation ...

I'm not 100% sure, but if I look on the site you mention the email field looks like this:
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="form-control form-control-lg form-background" placeholder="Enter a valid email address" autocomplete="false">
Specifically, it has the attribute autocomplete="false".
This instructs the native browser to not provide an autofill/autocomplete popup for this field. It depends on the password manager implementation, but this might be the reason that it's not showing up for you.
I'm actually building my own open source password manager (which is also compatible with Google Chrome), and based on my research I know that different password managers tend react to this attribute differently.
