Unfortunately this is not a bug but a feature. There were concerns about
auto-fill inputting information without users knowledge. I guess somebody
figured out a way to use autofill functionality with JavaScript to cause logins
or other activities without user knowledge. I did recently read how even a
carefully crafted CSS could be used to steal passwords and usernames, though I
would think that autofill would prevent that type of hack.. In any case, in
addition to allowing webforms on other applications to use Safari Autofill
information, they now require that autofill only works after tapping a point on
the screen. I wonder if they added any autofill to the low mobility interfaces.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
