Seb, I think what he means is not aoto-fill of the login credentials, but rather how cookies are handled.
On modern web sites it is standard now to ask the user before starting to use Cookies. Usually there a[ppears a question on the site the first time you visit it (the question is provided by the site, not by the browser). On a normal web browser (like Firefox or Chromium) once answered the question the answer gets somehow remembered so that it does not get asked again if you visit the site another time. But not only usual web site ask such a question. Captive portals sometimes do it, too. And as the trigger of network-manager does not make them getting oipened in a standard web browser but in some minimum web page displayer probably the answer to the Cookie question does not get remembered locally. Perhaps this remembering is done by a Cookie and the simple displayer does not support (=ignores) Cookies and so the question gets asked again and again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818517 Title: "Network Login" browser does not remember cookies Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is with respect to the gnome-shell-portal-helper, part of the gnome-shell package, which opens its own browser window to prompt for a wifi hotspot login. It all works fine except one little papercut: Could it remember cookies? So when I go back to the same hotspot most days I don't have to click OK to accept cookies every time before I can actually click to go online. It's possible I suppose they don't all use cookies. The hotspot in question is a BT wifi hotspot, so probably quite common in GB anyway. Desired behaviour, hate to say, is like Windows: It actually remembered my choice from before and just logged me in right away.
