I'm so sorry for the delay in responding, it appears that I overlooked your response initially.

You've posed a great question and the answer is: there are indeed standards that, among other things, include the autocomplete attribute in HTML to help password managers work efficiently and consistently. In fact, Apple publishes documentation describing what developers need to include for their webpage or app to work well with Password AutoFill:

We also publish a resource for developers here: Design your website to work best with 1Password

There are certainly a lot of edge cases and our own developers put in a lot of work to constantly update 1Password's filling "brain" so that 1Password in the browser "just works" even on tricky webpages: 1Password Browser Extension Release Notes

Hopefully the passwords landscape will just get better and better in the future. And, as I mentioned, we're now able to offer the same filling experience on the iPhone/iPad as on the desktop with 1Password in Safari. I'm definitely excited about what the future holds as iOS and 1Password both continue to develop and improve in the years to come.

I hope that my thoughts here help. Let me know if you have any questions. 😊
