"app" won't save passwords

[ghost]

We made an extension for our backoffice at work, but it won't remember our usernames and passwords. Every time we quit chrome, we have to fill it in again. Any way to auto save it like Chrome does?

Hi @Mooossee, Excellent suggestion!

Unfortunately, autofill is not yet supported in Applicationize as we use a Chromium webview element which lack support for autofill: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-reviews/Yx_oXldX3fs

It looks like that PR has not been merged or released as stable yet.

I am thinking of changing the way Applicationize works to avoid this and many other pitfalls of using webview elements to embed websites.

~~@eladnava I'm running into the same problem as @ghost. Any updates to this perchance?~~

Actually, there's a solution here: https://github.com/eladnava/applicationize/issues/25#issuecomment-250857260

There appears to be a new feature in Google Chrome called Application Shortcuts. It basically makes it possible to convert any web page (or web app) into a desktop app by clicking the hamburger icon in the top right -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut and ticking "Open as window".
