More Autofill options (address/credit card/contact..)

Auto filling credit card details into forms makes transactions much easier on Safari. Orion should implement that as well.
I do not need to add credit card details all the time, but I do notice how annoying it is when I do not have it.
When focused on a field that takes credit card numbers, suggest using one of the cards in the wallet. Data like the number, name, expiration and security code are automatically filled out.

The only thing on iOS keeping me from using Orion, or even Firefox, is that Chrome is the only iOS browser with a functioning credit card autofill. Alternatively, I tried using the Bitwarden Chrome extension inside of Orion for iOS, to autofill a credit card form, but it didn't work.

The feature that Safari has where Safari will automatically fill your name and address from your defined contact is extremely useful when signing up for different websites. It would be great if Orion could duplicate this functionality in someway allowing a similar capability.
As a user is signing up for different websites, ordering goods and so on. The browser would understand that a name and address field was on the screen and prompted the user if the name and address should be auto filled. Naturally, this would be a feature that could be turned on and off.

A place to start for credit cards would be the Orion+ buy page.

The lack of autofill for payment details is a real pain. Please add a function to save all card information as in Safari. I use desktop.
When making payments online.

I am going to keep being annoying about this. Most modern browsers have a credit card autofill feature. In addition, both Safari and Chrome have apple pay, and with the latest updates apple pay should be available for other browsers to implement. Is there a reason you don't want this to be a part of Orion?

That is new to me. Can you show a video of Chrome with Apple pay on macOS?

I understand this is taking time, and this is because it is incredibly hard to do this. If you know how can Orion know that a field is used for name/address/credit card that works for all websites and all languages we are happy to accelerate this. It is not a browser problem it is a lack of standards problem.
Vlad Of ocurse different languages pose a problem (how does Safari fare there?)
Safari does absolutely great there. I'm using autofill in 4 different languages, on a myriad of websites, and it usually works well. Except for phone numbers, since websites like to split the country code and number into different fields.
Also, I have 1Password and it shows auto fill options for filling in my name/address and it never works, just allows the selection then does nothing.

Vlad One thing Safari does (on iOS at least) is that it starts filling out a form best it can. Then if you are in an empty field it gives you the option (in the autocorrect bar) to put in the missing fields (CCV, expiration date) semi-manually. You have to tap on it, while in the right field, but at least you don't have to copy your credit card info from somewhere

Firefox on iOS actually fills names, addresses, and credit cards now. They added it around March 2024

Vlad typically html forms have a name attribute, like "email", "first name", "address1" etc, that are pretty standard.
You can use either Field Attributes & Name Detection
Modern web forms use standard name attributes, such as:
name="email"
name="address"
name="firstName"
Your browser can map these to stored user data.
- Detect Input Type & Label Associations
Many websites follow semantic form designs:
<input type="email"> → Autofill with the stored email.
<input type="tel"> → Autofill with the stored phone number.
Use <label for="id"> associations to infer the field purpose. - Or you can leverage the new autocomplete feature of html5:
<input type="text" name="street-address" autocomplete="address-line1">
<input type="text" name="city" autocomplete="address-level2">
Your autofill system should recognize these standard values and save them in some type of safe browser storage.

Every browser has the issue that if the form on a website is not properly created or standardized, auto-fills won't work.
But having payment methods saved, and a default address for shippings would be all i need to not miss Safari at all haha
