BW autofill enters invalid password at specific and consistent but random URIs, whereas manual copy+paste doesn't.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

1. Steps To Reproduce

   As https://community.bitwarden.com/t/how-to-get-list-of-every-vault-entry-with-disabled-autofill/57201?u=rokejulianlockhart explains:

   1. Visit the undermentioned URIs:

      • https://www.artstation.com/users/sign_in,
      • https://www.npmjs.com/login,
      • https://theadulthub.com/login.aspx, or
      • https://lemmy.world/login.

   2. Autofill credentials with Bitwarden.

   3. To demonstrate that autofill is the cause, replace those credentials with credentials manually duplicated to and from the clipboard (from Bitwarden if desired).

2. Expected Result

   Autofilling credentials should not prevent authentication if the credentials are correct.

3. Actual Result

   Autofilling the credentials causes authentication to fail, whereas manual provision of identical credentials allows authentication to succeed.

4. Screenshots or Videos

   Edit by @djsmith85: Removed the video and attached it to an internal ticket.

@joshuabjordan, has there been any progress? This issue appears to remain, and is more important now that autofill appears to be enabled automatically. Reported at help.artstation.com/hc/en-us/requests/317461.

This is increasingly common now, and, for me, encompasses Paypal starting a few weeks ago. Both PC and Android appear to fill the text correctly, however, when pressing the button, website claims control is not filled. Typing, pasting, etc works.

Attempting to select the text field after being filled reveals that it is indeed empty, as if the field is filled in the placeholder text not in text (I am not a web developer. The text you get when field is empty).

My details might be different but I assume this is related.
I had trouble logging into Paypal too. In my case it appears Bitwarden was injecting the TOTP code prematurely. (On the Paypal login page after only entering my email address it gave a warning about an invalid code.) In Bitwarden I ticked off "copy TOTP automatically" and then I could log in okay (manually copying the code when needed, of course).

Autofill doesn't work for me at all on PayPal. Have to copy paste all 3 inputs (user, PW, Totp) manually. This is on Firefox.

ArtStation recently replaced their login dialog. ~~For the first time, it now appears to function with BW autofill. Comparing it and its predecessor may yield useful information. Unfortunately, https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.artstation.com/users/sign_in is inaccessible due to CloudFlare. However, its replacement, I have provided: https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16336681/ArtStation.-.Sign.In.22_07_2024.17_02_43.zip~~

@eylenburg, it's always functioned for me on PayPal, interestingly. @eylenburg or @corey851, does ArtStation perhaps work for you (if you have an account)?

Confirm that the issue still exists in the latest version

@closebot-bw, ~~although ArtStation somehow remediated this when they redesigned their login page~~, this continues to reproduce at Lemmy (autofill breaks it, but pastage operates as expected):
