I'm not sure I follow - automatic autofill and manual autofill would both raise red flags by not automatically filling in credentials (automatic autofill) or not suggesting credentials (manual autofill).

edit: I think I understand. My first point doesn't show that automatic autofill is better than manual, because both methods will raise red flags. I.e. this isn't a reason to choose automatic over manual autofill. I think this is a fair point.

I do think that both autofill methods have an advantage over simple copy/paste, especially given the XSS discussion in other threads here.
