This is more likely normal behavior than abnormal. The number of sites a person uses likely increases the chances they don't actually know most of their passwords. The default "flow" becomes "password reset and recovery", which makes most services about a secure as the system being used for recovery if the password is reset.
It's important to understand the value of the data or service being "protected" by authentication. Banks should probably continue using passwords. Bookmarking sites, or things like Discord can get away with token logins. This eases the burden on the user.
Gmail leaves me logged in for long periods of time once I've authenticated on a given machine/browser. This is also a form of "autocompletion" in a way, allowing me to access sensitive data (my email) without having to re-authenticate with a password (by using a stored cookie). Anything using my email for password recovery is susceptible to being attacked through my persistent session, but then again I do a pretty decent job of retaining possession of my laptop physically.
By using email tokens to log in to a site, instead of resetting a password that will likely be forgotten, one could just skip straight to logging in the user with the one time tokens, which are as secure as the system being used for transmitting the token.
There is no icon in any of the fields to click to populate them.
There is no auto filling.
You have to cursor into the field, right click and manually select the relevant entry to fill.
From a security standpoint this is much better and safer overall.
It also prevents accidental autofilling and login of an account you're trying NOT to login with on sites where you have multiple accounts and need to keep things carefully separated.
Additionally, if you have Bitwarden in your toolbar, you can click the Bitwarden icon, then click the entry for the site, and it will auto-fill in the page for you.
I'm surprised anyone uses context menus to do this, though I agree with you that it's probably safer.
I have encountered this mentality often. I'm not sure if Apple users have so many bugs that they are used to it, or if it's part of the fanaticism.
I had so many bugs on iphone 6 I was baffled because the marketing "It just works". Upon voicing my issues, I was told from numerous people, "it's probably just doing X,Y,Z". Like that's an acceptable reason for bugs.
Thanks for the insult.
I'm not an "Apple fanatic," but I do develop for the platform.
I don't rail against other platforms (I spent 25 years, managing a cross-platform team), and I would suggest that you may be doing yourself a real disservice by writing off an extremely lucrative venue.
I do support you, however, in demonstrating a commitment to your principles, by ignoring and insulting a gigantic swath of monied customers.
I use 1Password, with browser integrations (it works better with Safari than Chrome).
I don't know most of my passwords; relying on 1Password to access the strings of garbage I autogenerate.
So I am constantly using it to fill forms.
It keys on things like attached <label>...</label> elements. Not all sites use these. Some sites also sometimes add some kind of junk that causes 1Password to fail.
Other times, 1Password insists that the field I just selected needs an autofill; even for non-auth fields.
Not really a big deal for me. No one that shouldn't gets my auth, and I ignore the prompt when it is not necessary.
