1807454 - Add setting to Trigger Authentication before Autofill

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Privacy, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14428.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Saved logins has biometric authentication for viewing all logins. But you can fill in the logins without any sort of authentication. If you want to have authentication then it should be there for all entry points. Otherwise there is no use for it

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

People can easily log in using my credentials if if leave my browser open. Granted this is an unlikely scenario but the current feature ( #5547) gives an undue impression of security when that is not the case

Who will benefit from it?

Anyone who stores passwords in firefox password manager (securely)/people who were asking for a master password . Also users who are aware of bitwarden and other password managers which ask for authentication before autofill
