Safari password autofill not working in ios 11

If I input my username into a website the option on my keyboard will pop up to autofill my password. When I select it there is a glitch and nothing happens.

If I leave the username blank and select the password field first, then hit autofill, the box will pop up normally and I can select my username and the password will autofill. I then have to manually enter the username after.

This has happened since the ios 11 update. My office mate is having the same problem.

We have cleared our password queue in settings and put them back in, but the same thing is happening.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.0.2

40+ people "have the same problem" and no response from Apple. Not even any way to uninstall and do a fresh install of Safari without reinstalling the entire OS and all subsequent updates which will take forever. Time to switch to Chrome permanently and forget about Safari. Apple's ecosystem getting weaker and weaker and less appealing by the year since Jobs passed. Competition stepping up and getting better every day. Soon, no reason to pay Apple premium price. Heard even the new MacBooks Pro's have way more bugs than ever before. No surprise, if they can't even get Safari and its Autofill to work properly nor address a user's concern here.

Doesn't work. Settings are ok, autofill still not working.

Yeah same for me this is normal behaviour they did away with the automatic auto fill for security reasons

I just noticed that the link to id and pw shows up on bar above keyboard.....it's a new feature. Just updated to 11.3 and didn't see it. You click the I'd and password auto fills.

Yeah you have to manually fill them now by clicking the field and the selecting the right login details. It was because some websites were trying to get people’s login by using fake password fields
