iOS 12/Swift Strong Password AutoFill doesn't work as expected

Question

I have set on UITextFields

• emailTextField -> username, keyboardType email address
• passwordTextField -> new password
• confirmPasswordTextField -> new password

This form doesn't work as expected I have no username suggestion, only if the user is connected with a domain in keychain there is like login suggestion

passwordTextField is filled with strong password but not confirm password. Moreover when I choose confirmPasswordTextField then new password is generated for both fields. If I select Own Password then type passwordTextField and try to retype it in confirmPasswordTextField it is suggested again now filling both UITextFields.

It seems to be very messy and stupid, making it hard for the user to properly choose own password or strong password. How to make it work correctly.

The most frustrating thing is that when I select Choose Own Password, text fields are cleared correctly, but once I start typing into my first UITextField then second confirm field is filled with this strong password but without yellow background.

Answer 1

I recently had a similar problem, and solved it by setting the type of passwordTextField to .password and the type of confirmPasswordTextField to .newPassword.

Answer 2

For me It works if I use .password in both fields. Using .newPassword adds some messy things.
