safari not filling passwords
autofill is on, icloud passwords is on, safari is not in private mode, temporary internet files have been cleared iphone has been restarted, ios 17.2
iPhone 14
I empathize with the frustration you're experiencing with Safari's autofill feature. I recently faced a very similar issue after updating my system. Just like you, I ensured that autofill was enabled, iCloud passwords were active, and that Safari wasn't running in private mode. Despite these settings being correctly configured, the password autofill function was unresponsive.
In my case, after updating to Ventura 13.6.3 and Safari 17.2.1, the feature stopped working specifically for "non-secure" websites, which had previously been functioning without a hitch. I even went through the process of clearing cache and restarting my iPhone, as you did, to no avail.
One additional step I took was to reinstall the previous macOS version from a thumb-drive, which temporarily resolved the issue until the subsequent update reintroduced the problem. This leads me to believe there might be a deeper issue possibly related to the latest updates.
If you haven't already, you might want to try the following:
- Double-check if there is any other Safari extension that could be interfering with the autofill process.
- Verify if the issue persists across all websites or just certain ones.
- Look into Safari's Preferences under the 'Passwords' section to ensure the passwords are actually saved and autofill is enabled for each site.
If the problem continues, providing feedback to Apple through the official channels might help highlight the issue for a future fix. Meanwhile, if you come across a solution, I'd be grateful to hear about it as it could potentially resolve my situation too.
Best of luck, and I hope we find a resolution soon.
Best regards,
Allan.
