Guild Wars 2

When I attempt to log on to the forums from my phone, the “auto fill” sees my email addy but as soon as I select it from the drop down, the field is automatically cleared. I have no choice other than to type it in each time.

Has anyone seen this before? Using my PC is fine. I’m using the latest Chrome browser in an iPhone 5.

Thanks

why do you not try it with the iPhone safari browser. Chrome last year was found to have memory issue making it incompatible with windows 10 and they put a bandaid on it. this year it was found to have security password issue that they are still working on. now if you are using a iPhone 5 with a brand new program can there be compatibility issue? as for your autofill it most not be in memory if you need to fill in manually each time. check your setting and where the password is saved(phone or web app site). not sure why you are mixing email with web site password. any how usely your phone can auto fill password unless you are using a web app that will fill it for you from your web password app. sometime it can ask you for a password that you need to fill in manually to connect your password app. if it is only on one site that it does not work I would say to you to advise the company that make the password manager for support. you could also do some testing of your own review the code of the web site and see why your code does not load. simple test would be to use a static scan tool to check if their web site jQuery is up to date for what they are trying to do. if it is not up to date it will show and tell you the version in use and the version that should be in use for the specific line of code that they are using it on.

you might need some tool that can be use to make a redirect middle man attack and use it to connect your phone to your pc to make some debugging in this case your pc will become the man in the middle where you will control the code send to the phone. will probably have to check the code over and over again by removing line of code and putting back until until you are left with the part of the code that is not working. then you can call the web site or company that makes the app and tell them the line of code that is causing the issue so they can fix it.

OK, perhaps I wasn’t clear.

To log onto these forums, my “user id” is my email addy. Let’s say I hit the letter “F”, the site recognises this and lists my full email address below the password field. If I tap that email address, it attempts to auto fill the “user id” field – it seems to flash on-screen then the field almost immediately gets set to a null entry.

I don’t ever use an auto fill option for passwords.

I’m not sure why you mention Windows 10 as this is exhibiting only on my iPhone 5 with Chrome and iOS 9… Windows 10 on my PC with the latest Chrome browser has no issue.

Hope that makes sense! No big deal, just a mild irritation

ETA – I’m currently on the PC and have just thought of something. If that works, I’ll delete the thread!

ok to answer your question if your email and password does not work there is different issue that could cause this:

1 your email address or password does not match what is acceptable on the server.

2 it does not get fill because you do not have it in the memory of the phone or the website app memory.

3 it can be block by security on the firewall.

4 there is problem with the web site or code in use.

now why I told you about Chrome and windows 10 simply to state to you that they have issue with memory (put a band aid on it)

Windows and Chrome forums have populated with complaints of the 64-bit version hanging and or crashing when in use. Similar to the YouTube for Windows Phone situation, the Chrome team attempted to develop around Microsoft’s APIs for Windows 10, rather than using the costly official tools for Microsoft’s 64-bit systems. Understandably, the Chrome team chose to find a solution that did not cost $9,995 (the cost of Microsoft’s 64-bit tools) to implement. Unfortunately, for the Chrome team, without the official tools, the beta version of the Chrome browser fell victim to the new way windows 10 handles memory

and password and they are working on it right now.

this came out 3 month ago:

Once downloaded, the request is triggered the very moment the download directory is opened in Windows File Explorer to view the file, delete it or work with other files (which is pretty much inevitable). There is no need to click or open the downloaded file – Windows File Explorer will automatically try to retrieve the “icon“. The remote SMB server set up by the attacker is ready to capture the victim’s username and NTLMv2 password hash for offline cracking or relay the connection to an externally available service that accepts the same kind of authentication (e.g. Microsoft Exchange) to impersonate the victim without ever knowing the password.
Currently, the attacker just needs to entice the victim (using fully updated Google Chrome and Windows) to visit his web site to be able to proceed and reuse victim’s authentication credentials. Even if the victim is not a privileged user (for example, an administrator), such vulnerability could pose a significant threat to large organisations as it enables the attacker to impersonate members of the organisation. Such an attacker could immediately reuse gained privileges to further escalate access and perform attacks on other users or gain access and control of IT resources.

does this answer your question?

Ok, no disrespect here as you clearly know your onions but your wall of text is difficult to read. I looked at my autofill settings and it will only autofill forms, not password fields. Very odd.

Anyway, thanks for your replies; I’ll have dig some more
