I recommend a password manager like Bitwarden, it has a great Firefox extension and it's very secure.
I self host vault warden, and the card auto-fill works ~70% of the time, and about half of those, the security code or the expiration doesn't work. EBay is the first one that comes to mind. I know it's the websites not following standards or conventions. It happens often enough that I remember the dates and codes now because I end up having to fill them in so often.
Protip: if a field doesn't populate, right click on it, then choose "copy name for bitwarden" (or something like that, not using FF in English), then add a custom field in the CC entry in bitwarden using that name in the clipboard. From now on on that specific page it will work
I actually didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip!
I've done that, the js or whatever overwrites it on eBay
I never had any issues with it
It seems really bad at filling CC info though. Like, I don't think it works at all. I always need to copy the number separately.
I still use it but it is annoying.
Its less annoying than having to get up to get my wallet
Oh definitely, which is why I use it.
Not for me. It works every time. Even on pages that disable pasting into the CC box, the BitWarden extension can still fill it in.
Huh, weird that I seem to have ao much issues with it. Could be due to mostly ordering from Finnish sites and the fields are often in Finnish.
