Autofill on login.secure.investec.com

I’m using the Bitwarden plugin in both Brave Browser and Firefox. The autofill feature in Bitwarden Password Manager doesn’t work for Investec Online | Secure Login | Internet Banking

The shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L) doesn’t work. Clicking the entry from the Bitwarden drop down menu doesn’t work. Clicking View, then Autofill on the menu item doesn’t work either.

The form fields look quite standard. Username goes into #investecId and password goes into #password. So I’m confident this is some anti-autocompletion thing they’re doing.

Any way to get around this?

Windows 10
Bitwarden Version: 2024.6.2
Brave Version 1.68.131 Chromium: 127.0.6533.73 (Official Build) (64-bit)
also
Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit)

Hello Francois and welcome to the community!

Another secure financial site that doesn’t keep up with the latest security recommendations. ::

One way to work around that isn’t as convenient but is likely as safe is to open the entry, and drag-and-drop the data from BW into the fields. FF’s dropdown doesn’t close while doing this, so I was able to do the two fields without re-clicking on the dropdown.

If this doesn’t work on Chromium, you may need to use the popup button on the top left and work it.

ps: On FF, the BW side-bar (alt-shift-Y) is a godsend.

@igitur Welcome to the forum!

@Neuron5569 is right, the best way to deal with this site is to use drag-and-drop.

However, you should also submit an Auto-fill Failure Report, so that Bitwarden can determine whether there is a way to fix the auto-fill for this site (and others that fail for similar reasons):

Sorry for the late reply. I submitted the URL as you suggested.

Yes, the drag 'n drop works (never knew about this) - but, as you say, it’s not as convenient.

Thanks for the help and advice.
