Details

The keyboard that is brought up when tapping on a form field could have a button to access logins saved in Firefox, or use a 3rd party password manager to fill the form. This is common in 3rd party iOS browsers, and is now how Safari provides access to saved logins. Moreover this helps with an ongoing problem of not correctly autofilling sites (such as Facebook), as it is impossible to correctly autofill all sites. With this feature, I could tap on the facebook login form on the page to show the keyboard, and manually pick to fill the login and password.
One thing to note is that we do not have access to the first responder inside the webview (WKContentView) and because of that it requires some hacks to add buttons to the keyboard. Have a look at how we add the custom search engine button there. Its a hack and doesnt work all the time.
Bug 1250526 is related, though possibly not a dupe of this.
