I don’t know exactly when autofill stopped working, but I get no suggestions for passwords or auto filling for forms. Autofill is turned on in settings for Safari for both “My Info” and credit cards and autofill for passwords is checked but no option for using them shows up. Any help would be appreciated.

This is due to the upgrade to ios15.1 which has deactivated accessory keyboard functions such as the cursor keys. I never needed to access the virtual keyboard to have the autofil functions work. They worked regardless of having an external keyboard.
please fix the upgrade fail with regard to your Apple keyboard and Logitech keyboards.

This is definitely a bug that presents itself when using an external keyboard (I’m using Logitech). Auto fill always worked fine until this new OS version. I have confirmed that auto fill works when the external keyboard is disabled. I just upgraded to 15.3.1 a few days ago and have encountered so many bugs, including this one, which is probably one of the most problematic that I’ve found so far.
Note: Apple, if you happen to monitor these forums I’d like to suggest that you stop preventing users from rolling back to a previous version if they so choose. If the previous version is still supported and the current version is buggy and unstable, it is incredibly frustrating to be locked in with no ability to revert. I specifically backed up to my pc before upgrading for this very reason, only to find that you force an update after the restore completes. This absolutely discourages people from willingly installing your updates.
As a first step, a forced-restart of your iPad may be beneficial - as doing so will often resolve an isolated software issue:
I have the samee issue Nancy and it started showing with it was upgraded to ios 15.1 - so for sure it has something to do with the OS upgrade as it used to worked before with no problems at all.
I did that at your suggestion. Not sure if it helped.
I’m used to having something pop up when I click in a fill-in field - is that what’s changed? Do I now have to click on the keyboard icon at the bottom?
Just ran into another issue with auto fill. Trying to sign up for a newsletter, the on-screen keyboard icon presents only 1 email. Previously, Hide-My-Email suggestions were available, as well as other of my email addresses, all popping up on the screen when I clicked into a field. I see no way to access these other options.
I agree. autofill should work even if there are external keyboards that are connected. In fact its an Apple Keyboar that I use, so it is reasonable to expect that it should work seamlesslely. Apple, pls fix it.
Just a quick update. I’ve found that the auto fill bug is most prevalent when using an external keyboard. However, I just discovered that it also happens, at times, even when an external keyboard is not connected.
If you are presented with autofill information within the on-screen keyboard, then yes, Autofill is working as expected.
I almost exclusively use my Smart Keyboard and had paid no attention to that keyboard icon at the bottom right. Thanks for the help - One less problem for me to fixate on 🤓
