How do I enable automatic password entry on my iPhone?

One of the more recent updates that they did, there is now a Passwords app on your phone. All of the passwords and usernames are there.

Usually when I log in, it will pull from there (60%) But the other times, it either offers me a choice (there’s a tiny key to the right where the auto choice used to show): passwords or Authenticator (Microsoft) or Chrome.

it’s a pain, because once you go into passwords, you usually have to type the one you’re trying to find (ie Yelp, Netflix etc) BUT at least you don’t have to go in through the way you are currently accessing.

I hope this helps you! Have a wonderful week! Take care

Not all websites are coded such that passwords can be autofilled, and it would appear that PNC's site is one of them. I've run across a few such sites that just don't allow autofill. If this is the case with your site, this would be an issue that PNC would need to address. The orange "keylike" symbol may just be a "slider" that allows your user ID to be saved so that only the password would need to be entered. PNC should be able to clarify in both cases.

Unless this is happening across your iPhone, with multiple apps or websites, then it would seem most likely that the PNC app has changed. If it's indeed just this one app, I would again suggest contacting PNC's online support and asking if they have any relevant information.

It's up to the app or website and how they decide to code things. If they don't allow access from the keychain system, either deliberately or though poor coding, there's little or nothing Passwords can do. I frequently encounter the same issue with my third-party password system (1Password). It's annoying but often something we just have to live with.

Regards.

This link explains how to use Password Autofill --> Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPhone - Apple Support

Some websites are just not coded to allow autofill and the ‘key’ icon will not appear on the keyboard.

Here is the easiest (and the only) way to get around this:

1. Tap in the username field on the website to activate the keyboard.
2. Long press in the username field on the website to pop up a small options menu.
3. From the pop up menu select AutoFill, then Passwords on the secondary pop up.
4. Apple’s Passwords app will open and the credentials you need should appear as a suggestion, search if it does not. (You may have to edit/correct the password entry if it has errors preventing it from appearing as a suggestion.)
5. From the Password app, select the suggestion, then select the username. This will fill it on the website.

Repeat this process for the password beginning by selecting and then long pressing the password field on the website. If you’re like me, you use your email address for usernames. If you do, you can just type that in on the website and then use the steps above to find and autofill only the password.

You can, when entering a password, click on the text box, click the key symbol on your typing bar and find the saved password and it will auto fill it.

Also check if the following setting is enabled: Settings > General > Autofill & Passwords

I will add. The autofill option for the password on this website DOESN'T WORK. I keep pointing it to the password in my password file via autofill, and it keeps not remembering it.

One cause is a website isn’t coded to play nice with password managers, or is coded to thwart the use of password managers. Check with the website maintainers. Or examine the website code for the password webpage.
