Chrome not prompting user to save credentials on iOS Google Chrome

Reported by aa...@iamaaron.com, Feb 14 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a website that has username/password combination login method. Used on multiple websites, but specifically with netflix.com
2. Log in with proper user credentials.

What is the expected behavior?
Like Google Chrome on Android, users should be prompted with the ability to save used credentials to log into the app/website next time, if it is has the Web Credential Management API implemented.

What went wrong?
There was no prompt to store credentials utilized to successfully log in. Thus rendering Web Credential Management API implementations useless.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.79  Channel: stable
OS Version: iOS 10.2.1 (14D27)
Flash Version: Not provided

This works on Android as expected.

Apparently, you can save the credentials on iOS Chrome, I am not seeing this functionality though.

Thanks for your report.

Credential manager API has not launched on iOS yet, and is unlikely to be launched soon, because of the platform limitations.

Websites using this API should detect that navigator.credentials is missing and fall back to normal form-based autofill, which should work in Chrome on iOS.

@vabr, Thanks so much for the information. Is there any milestones or versions of which this functionality plans to be implemented?

Thanks again!

Hi Aaron,
I'm afraid there are no estimates for the launch date on iOS. Because on iOS the network and rendering layer are owned by Safari, and the API cannot be implemented by script injection in its current form, we depend on Safari to provide support.

vasilii@: please feel free to correct me in case the above is not true.

Cheers,
Vaclav
