tag which contained the text "Welcome back,". I thought the comma might be causing an issue (no idea why) so I removed it. No change. I thought the word "back" might be making Safari think this was a login page for some reason? So I removed it and it fixed the issue! Crazy. Out of curiosity I tried removing "Welcome" and adding "back" back in. Still didn't re-occur. ?! So it seems only the combination of words "welcome back" causes this to happen. Absolutely no idea why. To confirm I chose another page randomly and put the phrase "welcome back" in a random position on the page and low and behold it caused this to happen again. For some reason the presence of these words on the page is adding the following to the Shadow DOM of the input field:
Easily the most bizarre bug I've ever come across. 84 199 11 [?] 11 9 217 @quarterdeck Copy link Author @quarterdeck quarterdeck commented May 28, 2021 On further consideration I don't think it's a bug. I think Safari is assuming any page with "Welcome Back" on it is a login page and enabling this behaviour. Therefore I think it's intended. 43 9 48 50 @laurensgroeneveld Copy link @laurensgroeneveld laurensgroeneveld commented May 28, 2021 * edited I can confirm, created a HTML page with just a p and an input:Welcome back
This does indeed show a password option if I open this in Safari and focus the input: image Curiously enough, adding a style="display: none; to the p does no longer show the password dropdown. 11 21 @quarterdeck Copy link Author @quarterdeck quarterdeck commented May 28, 2021 Nice one. I found that using a non-breaking space prevents the behaviour.welcome back

I'm sure someone would just accidentally remove it otherwise. 49 15 @val-o Copy link @val-o val-o commented May 28, 2021 It seems the same applies to "Sign In" image 16 6 @mattijv Copy link @mattijv mattijv commented May 28, 2021 "Log in" works too. I tried a couple other languages (Finnish, German, French, Chinese) but the issue/feature seems to only happen with English (although I did use Google Translate, so I can't guarantee I used the right idioms). 4 @chrisvasey Copy link @chrisvasey chrisvasey commented May 28, 2021 * edited This issue is at top of hacker news right now, there have been a lot of comments speculating why this is here. 1 2 27 @jwenjian jwenjian mentioned this issue May 28, 2021 Zhe Ge Github issue Fa Xian Liao safari Liu Lan Qi De Yi Ge Gui Yi De bug:Ru Guo Ni De Ye Mian Shang You Yi Ge p Biao Qian ,Xie Zhao Welcome back , Hui Hong Fa safari Liu Lan Qi De Mi Ma Zi Dong Tian Chong jwenjian/reading-list#439 Open Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.
