I confirmed that this problem is replicated on safari and safari tech. preview. Password creation functionality is not part of WebKit. You can report the issue to Apple via http://feedbackassistant.apple.com Alternatively, this can be corrected in other ways: 1. Ideally, have the website provide an accurate pattern in the password form field, see <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attr-pattern>. 2. Post an exception to <https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources>. |
Created attachment 401690 [details] the password created by safari/webkit engine that would not be accepted. The template/formula that Safari/Webkit/Safari Tech. Preview uses to create a safe and secure password does not meet the standards for many websites. I have attached 1 example for the developer forum to create an account on the ARM architecture website. The criteria requested is : 8-16 characters, containing 3 out of 4 of the following: Lowercase characters, uppercase characters, digits (0-9), and one or more of the following symbols: @ # $ % ^ & * - _ + = [ ] { } | \ : ' , ? / ` ~ " ( ) ; . the created autofill password (see attachment 2) was rejected.
