Form filling history

[fookingrekt]

On my Galaxy S7 running Android 7.0 I have the option to put all information into a form field that I have used in the past in the same or similar fields, e.g name and and email address. On my other Galaxy S7 running Android 8.0 I cannot do this.

Is there an option to enable it anywhere? Which app handles this?

Good question! I'd like to know because, every 30 days or so, Android Forums makes me sign in again. I receive a numeric code by email that I'm to enter into the website's field... and every freaking code I've ever entered into that field is saved! I don't want to nuke the browser's data and wipe out everything for every site: but if there's a way to surgically delete the data for certain fields, on certain sites, that information would be worth its weight in gold*. It would be particularly helpful to prevent those field entries from being saved in the first place.

Yes I know it's information and doesn't weigh anything. Stop being a dork about it

There is a built in Samsung app that saves the fourms, I accidently open it up the other day and it saids "Milo would you like to save all your fourm data?" Autofill with Samsung pass Try doing that on your Samsung Devices my friends

That app is for Android 8.0+, so it isn't the app that's doing it on my S7 running 7.0. I already have it on my 8.0 S7 but it doesn't work (at least not in the form fields that I tried)

I went to Samsung Pass to take a look at that. Thanks for nothing, Samsung...

I don't even think it is Samsung Pass that is doing it. I remember very well that even before I started using Samsung Pass I had forms automatically filled in at the tap of a button.

Yeah on my Android 7.0 S7 it works in all apps with form fields. Maybe it's just an "old" Android thing.
