iOS Password AutoFill
With the release of iOS 12, signing in to your online accounts has never been easier. Whether you're using third-party apps like Facebook and Netflix or accessing websites through Safari or other browsers, you can now sign in faster using the Password AutoFill feature. Best of all, the process is the same whether you're using an app or a web browser.
Enable Password AutoFill
Before you can use Password AutoFill, you need to enable it in your device's settings.
Enabling AutoFill:
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device (must be running iOS 12 or later).
- Tap General.
- Scroll down and tap AutoFill & Passwords
- Make sure that mSecure is toggled to the on position.
Once enabled, mSecure will display a password suggestion bar above your keyboard when you tap on the username or password field in apps and websites.
Using AutoFill in Apps
- Open your preferred app.
- Navigate to the sign-in or login screen.
- Tap the Login suggestion above the keyboard or tap the key icon for more options.
Using AutoFill in Safari
- Open Safari.
- Navigate to the website's login page
- Tap the Login suggestion or the key icon for more options.
Important Notes
- Only records that include URL, Username, and Password fields will work with Password AutoFill.
- To ensure AutoFill works, use the built-in Login template in mSecure, which contains these required fields.
- If you created a custom record, make sure it includes URL, Username, and Password field types. The field labels do not matter; only the field types are important.

Reporting Issues
In some cases, Password AutoFill may not work correctly. This is usually due to an app or website not implementing sign-in forms properly, which prevents iOS and mSecure from filling credentials. Unfortunately, we cannot fix these eternal issues.
However, if you encounter a problem with mSecure's AutoFill function, please report the issue:
- Click "Submit a Ticket" at the bottom of this page.
- Provide:
- App name and/or website URL.
- Detailed description of the issue.
- Any error messages or unexpected behavior.
Before reporting an issue, double-check that AutoFill is enabled correctly in your settings (see "Enable Password AutoFill" above).
