As described in Bug 1755724, the current autofill feature in the password manager has its price. 
An alternative could be an optional auto-submit feature instead of formautofill.
 
Auto-Submit would have the following process:
1. User loads a page
2. Credentials saved in password manager are displayed in a autocomplete pop up
3. When the login page/form doesn't require any further user interaction like "Remember me"-Checkbox, reCaptcha, etc. the user or the password manager could automatically submit the login form.

E.g. the user could ctrl enter (or ctrl click) an option from the autocomplete list to auto-submit or we could classify for the user which forms don't have open user interactions and automatically in that case. This would have to be precised, because auto-submitting when the user still wants to interact with the page seems inconvenient.
