Auto-fill Passwords Does Not always work

How can you get the ipad2 to auto-fill logins and passwords in all situations? Currently, it's hit or miss.

Also, any idea where on the ipad it stores this stuff? On the PC I use Norton and can go in and add a new site and password.

Thanks.

 

You probably can't do anything about it. It is often hit or miss even on a computer. It is up to websites to properly identify each field so that auto-fill functions work properly. Currently there is no standard, so the browser has to do the best it can; and there is no way to tweak in on the iPad.

With passwords I think I'd just as soon it failed rather than enter my password in the clear on some webpage.

I saw a headline the other day about Google implementing some kind of text field ID tag in the Chrome bowser, and wanting the industry to accept it as a new web standard. I probably should have read the article.

 

Twerppoet is so right. The autofills in my mac doesn't work that smooth so I don't expect it on the pad. Well, for security reasons, it's better that it misses sometimes.

 

Also, some sites block macros and auto fill ins for safety reasons...for example Schwab disallows them on typing passwords
