Highlighting input elements when they are autofilled is used to communicate to the user that we have made a change to it. When the saved login username is blank, we are not making any change to the element, so highlighting it is confusing. In the worst case users might (erroneously) believe that we have blanked the field.

Steps to reproduce:

  • On any site we are capable of autofilling on
  • Save a login with a password, but with an empty username field
  • Refresh page

Expected:

  • Password field is filled in and higlighted
  • Username field is unchanged

Actual:

  • Password field is filled in and highlighted
  • Username field is highlighted
