Auto-Type is More Secure
The Auto-Type feature is considered a more secure method to Auto-Fill passwords and Auto-Fill forms:
- Users consciously select and direct the password onwards with a click
-
The entry can indicate a specific window and fields to populate, including: supporting browsers, application dialogs, and even notepad, etc.
Some prominent password manager brands have had leaks/insecurities with their auto-fill methods (i.e. LastPass Security Flaw). We encourage users to exercise caution in using other methods of auto-capture & auto-population, which don't require any user interaction.
