Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager: Site Compatibility, defect, P3)

Description

[Timea Cernea [:tbabos][inactive]]

Attachment: Screenshot of the issue

Affected Versions:

• Nigthly 87.0a1 (2021-02-04)
• Beta 86.0b5
• Release 85.0

Tested On:

• MacOS 10.15

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to bigcommerce.com register page: https://www.bigcommerce.com/ -> Get Started
2. Pass through the email form and reach the 2nd page
3. Click on the Password field

Expected:
Since we are on a register form, the password generation option should be offered in the autocomplete dropdown

Actual:
Password Generation is not offered in the autocomplete dropdown

Notes:

• Reproducible on Chrome? No
• Field attribute:
  <input autocomplete="off" class="form-input ng-pristine ng-empty ng-valid-specialcharacters ng-valid-numbersletters ng-invalid ng-invalid-required ng-valid-minlength ng-valid-maxlength ng-touched" id="password" name="password" ng-maxlength="512" ng-minlength="8" numbersletters="" specialcharacters="" placeholder="" type="password" value="" ng-model="trialCtaCtrl.trialData.password" ng-required="true" required="required" style="">
• Regression-range: not a regression, this was not working from the point when we enabled password generation in FX70, site issue most probably since type="password" instead of "new-password"

The registration page doesn't use the term that normally used in a traditional registration page.
It doesn't match any rule in the new password model. We will probably need to find more similar sites to train the model.

Verified-fixed on the latest Firefox Nightly 90.0a1 (BuildID: 0210530214555) on MacOS 10.15. The password generation is now offered for the field and it also works as expected.
However, the generated password does not pass site requirements, submitted Bug 1713585.
