Seb, I think what he means is not aoto-fill of the login credentials,
but rather how cookies are handled.

On modern web sites it is standard now to ask the user before starting
to use Cookies. Usually there a[ppears a question on the site the first
time you visit it (the question is provided by the site, not by the
browser). On a normal web browser (like Firefox or Chromium) once
answered the question the answer gets somehow remembered so that it does
not get asked again if you visit the site another time.

But not only usual web site ask such a question. Captive portals
sometimes do it, too. And as the trigger of network-manager does not
make them getting oipened in a standard web browser but in some minimum
web page displayer probably the answer to the Cookie question does not
get remembered locally. Perhaps this remembering is done by a Cookie and
the simple displayer does not support (=ignores) Cookies and so the
question gets asked again and again.
