One danger of doing just copy and paste is that you are more exposed to phishing attacks. The browser extension for the password managers check that the site that they are filling in is indeed the site that they stored the password for.

But extensions bring their own security concerns too.

You can use auto type. But you need to make each entry identifiable and sometimes it doesn’t work because page and login titles change.
