> This isn’t exactly true. My password manager fails to recognise the domain I’m on, all the time. I have to go search for it and then copy/paste it in.

I'd probably go looking for a new password manager if it fails to do one of the basic features they exist for, copy-pasting passwords defeats a lot of the purpose :)

> That being said, if you’re making login pages

I think we're doomed on this front already. My previous bank still (in 2025!) only allows 6 numbers as the online portal login password, no letters or special characters allowed, and you cannot paste in the field so no password manager works with their login fields, the future is great :)

This isn’t the fault of the password managers themselves, but devs not putting the right metadata on their login forms, or havo the password field show only after putting in the email address, causing the password input to fail to be filled, etc.

    Then get a good password manager that matches the domain and triple-check if it's a new domain. If your password manager shows you your npm login for npmjs.com and you are suddenly on a new domain and your password manager doesn't show logins, you will notice.

      I've noticed failure to fill the right fields (or any fields) on Lastpass, 1Password, Bitwarden and the KeepassXC browser extension.

      What is your mythical "good password manager"?
