For me it's a critical flags who must be activated be default.

I can see how it can be useful for when you have more than 1 accounts for a website but how does it improve security exactly?

- WittycatJan 26, 2021Steel ContributorActually i have readed some times ago that auto fill is a very dangerous feature : https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/security/a24687/autofill-bad/ and it already exists an attack who use it to extract data.
- HotCakeXJan 26, 2021MVPYeah that's true, but that's for the autofill in general, if you disable/enable autofill on account select it won't matter, if the website has hidden stuff then you will enter it anyway, unless you use developer mode on every website before entering your info, regular non-tech-savvy users never do that
maybe there is an extension that will show hidden boxes on web pages and alert user- WittycatJan 26, 2021Steel Contributoror at least disable autofill if he detect multiple "username" or "password" boxs
