Having a new iPad 2 Air, I wanted to transfer my saved usernames/passwords from my old iPad2. I discovered backup/restore via itunes does not transfer this type of info. Fine, there isn't many, so I thought I'd add them manually via settings 'Add Password' facility. Having entered all the data, it seems Safari will not recognise any Username/password entered manually!!!!
When I visited one of the sites, autofill did not appear on my keyboard so I had to enter the username /password manually. When I clicked login, I was then asked if I wanted to save the username/password, to which I answered yes. Later, when re-visiting the site, I found autofill was now working, but when I checked Safari password settingsI found I now had two identical entries for the site, only one of which was triggering the autofill!
Can anyone suggest why the manually entered ones are not being recognised by Safari? (I did think that perhaps I wasn't entering the full url, but I double checked each entry to make sure it matched what was on my original iPad2)
