What kind of password manager doesn't?

The whole point of a password manager browser extension is to autofill usernames in username boxes, and autofill passwords into password boxes. Obviously a password is never put in a box where it would be visible, it's always a masked one.

And obviously it only does it if the domain matches.

I probably log into 10-15 sites a day on average. I sure as heck don't want to have to be manually searching my password manager, and copying a username, pasting a username, copying a password, and pasting a password each time. That would be literally minutes a day of totally wasted time for no reason.

You misunderstood me. I said “into an unmasked text input field” which is different from a “password input field”

It’s one where the password isn’t replaced with •••••• as you type it and remains visible.
