My auto fill password not working after updation

Hello Farisbasheer,

Let's use the steps below to make sure that your iPhone is all up to date:

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.

3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.

4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.

5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If your iPhone is all up to date, let's restart: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.

Should that still persist, do you have any third party password management apps installed?

Also, can you let us know some of the specific apps where the password isn't being autofilled?

We'll keep moving forward from there.

Hi there Farisbasheer,

If AutoFill is not working as expected on your iPhone, first ensure you've set up AutoFill correctly using the steps outlined here: Automatically fill in your information in Safari on iPhone

If this is how you have AutoFill set up and this continues, let us know which websites or apps you are unable to use with AutoFill and provide more details on what's happening. We'll use that to narrow this down further.

Cheers!

i accidentally found an inconvenient way to do the password for the apps. Much rather have it back to how it was. Hold your finger down in the password spot and then autofill them password. It’s annoying and very inconvenient! But so is having to go through settings to copy and paste the passwords you don’t remember. SMH

I am having the exact same issue. To be clear, I have never had problems using auto fill password on my phone before. Never. The settings have always been correct. The settings are all correct now. I have checked them more than once. The problem is the iPhone update. Regardless of the settings, being correct, there is something wrong in the programming code for the update. Please review.

I'm having the same problem since the most recent update. My settings are correct. I've restarted my phone. My auto-fill for my work website is not auto-filling. It's driving me crazy to have to keep inputting it.

When I am in Safari, or Chrome, the autofill works. It is my applications that do not work. And it is all of the applications that do not work. My bank application, credit card, eBay, Poshmark, Uber, Instacart, Amazon…I will stop there.

There have been several updates since all of these people have reported this problem. Why has it not been addressed in any of the updates? Could someone please respond to this question? Clearly, it is not a random issue. I find it very frustrating that so many people have reported it, and Apple has not deemed it important enough to address in their updates.

Does not work on apps not websites. It broke around Jan 2024. I have gone and toggled on and off everything I could find. Followed directions to turn off and then turn on settings of your suggestions.

It's May 2024 and I've been trying to update passwords using my Mac (Sonomo 14.5) Safari 17.5 and there's huge problems with the password manager. If I go to a website and change the password, use the create strong password function after clicking on the Key on Safari at the password entry box, I get a new password but Apple doesn't update the password in the manager. Now I'm locked out, have to click forget password.

Sometimes, when copy the password so I can manually update the password in the manager, even after clicking on edit, I am unable to type in the password box and delete the old one and type or paste the newly created copied password. Infuriating.

Fix this Apple !!!!

i have the same problem along with many more and I’m sure all of us are sick to death of being treated like a five year old every single result on the web is make sure your settings and everything turned on 😠

I am sick and tired of this iPhone 12 UN-Pro

Minimum give me problems every single day! I think it was iPhone 7 five or better than this one plus $79 android I got two years out of my Twitter and YouTube because you can actually hear it without headphones😠

I am having the same issue. Never had a problem until the latest SW update.

So it’s now January 2024 and because I am looking this up for my iPhone 13 on latest update my guess is Apple still has not fixed this problem

It is now March, 2024, and the issue has not been fixed, in fact it has gotten worse. It at least was inconsistent before, but now it just is nothing.
