Username and Password auto-fill?

Unread post by Moongazer » 2019-01-16, 02:58

Is there a setting in PM where i can do this so that i won't have to keep on clicking the username bar, select my username so that my password can "appear"/be filled in?

Sites will sometimes deliberately set themselves up to prevent autofill of credentials.

Also, with any site where you may happen to have multiple accounts/login names, you'll always have to click to pick one.
