Credit card fields do not currently detect password management for stored credit card information, thus we’re manually entering credit card information on iOS.
Is this a future feature in the pipeline?

Add the ability for Brave to be an password manager in a sense, where as the use… rs stored passwords will then be accessible from the iOS keyboard in `WKWebView`
This involves adding a new target to the project `AutoFill Credential Provider`.
More information about the APIs can be found by watching the [WWDC 2018 721 - Implementing AutoFill Credential Provider Extensions](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/721/) or reading the [AuthenticationServices doc](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices)
- [ ] Add an `AutoFill Credential Provider`
- [ ] Use Chromium implementation for handling password <> `AuthenticationServices` sync
- [ ] Potentially have new UI for the `AuthenticationServices` API
Potential caveats to take into account:
- The user has to explicitly enable it in `Settings > Passwords & Accounts > AutoFill Passwords`
- The user can only have 2 (+ iCloud?) AutoFill providers enabled
- The user has to do this process manually via the keyboard unlike in 1.6 where the username/password were auto-filled upon loading the page.
Screenshots of AutoFill Providers (1Password in this case):

Looking to hit in 1.65 or 1.66. They are running behind quite a bit on iOS releases. They had been anticipating having 1.65 out for the middle of April, but as you can see…they only now just released the update to 1.64 four days ago. I’m not sure if that delay is in them or if it took that long for Apple to clear it.
In any case, it’s in the pipeline.

Thank goodness… I’m just glad this is coming “soon” in either case. Thank you @Saoiray !
