Details

Could you give more details of what you want to happen and when? Autofill without user interaction is on by default and works when there is only one saved login for the site. Otherwise, when you focus a username/password field you can hit the down arrow to open the autocomplete popup and select from saved logins. (To me the down arrow is one of the simplest keyboard shortcuts to use.) What would be focused when you hit the keyboard shortcut? What would you want to happen (e.g. if there are multiple saved logins)

Command‑Backslash () "Fill Login on current web page." Doesn't explain what happens if you have multiple.

Alt + Page Up (LastPass) Fill in next login (when multiple)
Alt + Page Down (LastPass) Fill in previous login (when multiple)

Does this mean that if I want a specific login filled it may first fill in a different credential? I don't think we would want to do that if it gives the site access to unrelated credentials as it can leak connections between identities e.g. between containers.

This page doesn't seem to talk about autofill in the context of a page. Are you asking for a shortcut from the management page?

"the last used login for that website will be auto-filled"

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.
