Comment on Magic – Completes signup forms automatically, with just an email address

Comments

um chrome (and presumably other browsers) already remember all of my information and autofill it...

Except it works terribly.

I hate how I only get those prompts when the field matches whatever fields Chrome thinks it should, yet many companies don't use these field ID's, so Chrome sits there stupidly.

I would love the ability to teach Chrome that this is a form and yes these are valid fields. Maybe somehow submit it to Google and have them update whatever regex they use. I feel like it fails about 50% of the time.

Im pretty sure theres a set of standard attributes you can set on fields to make them autocompletable. I use this as a reference: https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Autocomplete_Types
