Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Andrei Purice]

Attachment: apple.mp4

Affected Versions:

Nigthly 87.0a1 (2021-02-08)
Beta 86.0b7
Release 85.0.1

Tested On:
Windows 10x64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to apple.com register page: https://appleid.apple.com/account?localang=US-EN&app_id=2083&returnURL=https%3A//secure2.store.apple.com/shop/signIn%3Fc%3DaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXBwbGUuY29tL3wxYW9zZTQyMmM4Y2NkMTc4NWJhN2U2ZDI2NWFmYWU3NWI4YTJhZGIyYzAwZQ%26r%3DSCDHYHP7CY4H9XK2H%26s%3DaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXBwbGUuY29tL3wxYW9zZTQyMmM4Y2NkMTc4NWJhN2U2ZDI2NWFmYWU3NWI4YTJhZGIyYzAwZQ
2. 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? Yes
Field attribute:
<input type="password" aria-required="true" autocomplete="off" errors="{errors}" {$value}="value" ($input)="attr('value', $element.val())" class="pwd form-textbox form-textbox-text pwd temp-override has-errors" id="password" value="" aria-describedby="_passwordstrengthpopover" aria-invalid="true">
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".

Fathom seems to be tripping over something, but I'm not sure what. The password field receives a score of 52, while the confirm password field receives a score of 98. I believe this may be the same issue we are running into on Bug 1691441.

Just a note, in the Apple's registration page, we don't find any matches in the current new password rules.

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.
