iPad autofill
Even with autofill "on" my iPad will not autofill anything. What gives?
iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi
iOS 11.3
AutoFill behavior has changed.
There are 2 new security features.
1. A user has to click inside the autofill fields, the arrow (interaction) for the autofill to work.
2. If the site is not a secure one, “Not Secure” or “Site Not Secure” will appear in the search field.
Quoting from the below linked HowTo article:
Safari Login AutoFill
Available for: iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later, and iPod touch 6th generation
Impact: A malicious website may be able to exfiltrate autofilled data in Safari without explicit user interaction.
Description: Safari autofill did not require explicit user interaction before taking place. The issue was addressed through improved autofill heuristics.
