Manual AutoFill in Safari

Dan Moren:

In a very clever move, Apple has introduced essentially a manual mode for AutoFill. You’re no longer dependent on Safari recognizing that, yes, these are fields where you can put your address in. Instead, anywhere that you can enter text—and not just in Safari, but anywhere, in any app—bring up the contextual menu by right/two-finger/control clicking on the Mac or tapping and holding on iOS/iPadOS, and then go to the new AutoFill submenu. From there choose Contact or Passwords, depending on what info you want to bring up, and you can have it drop that info right into the form.

Update (2023-12-22): Ricky Mondello:

Not just Safari! Across the whole OS (macOS, iOS, iPadOS)! For any Mac app not using a standard contextual menu, you can look in the Edit menu for AutoFill, too!

Don:

Sadly only for iCloud Keychain passwords and not 3rd party password-managers.
