Yes, but that's the essence of the whole problem: there are ways to spoof what the current website is, causing your context-aware password manager to spit out data it shouldn't. Diabling autofill pretty much eliminates the whole vector though, without breaking UX that hard.

Can you give an example?

There was this example from 2017. https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/12/27/no-boundaries-for-u...

I seem to remember reading about similar stuff done elsewhere, but don't remember the details (or apparently a useful search term :P).

Isn't the XSS example highlighted here a good example?
