Steps to reproduce:
<Include steps to reproduce the bug; Did you try using Compatibility mode (https://help.kagi.com/orion/support-and-community/troubleshooting-webpage-issues.html)? Did you try using a clean Orion Profile? If applicable, does Safari behave in the same way?>

Not sure if this is a known bug, but to my knowledge I have not found people reporting it.

In Safari, Strongbox can automatically find the entry of this website:

But in Orion, I can only click the button to open and select the strongbox, and then I have to manually enter the url information to find the username and password. I don't know if it's possible to make it work like in Safari.

Expected behavior:
<What you expected to happen?>

Orion, OS version; hardware type:

    Hi, thanks for the information. But it seems that the extension doesn't work for me (but it does on Brave).

        defacto macOS does not allow direct access to native Keychain passwords, you have to go through the flow you described. macOS limitation, not Orion.

            Vlad Thanks! May I ask, does this also mean that the strongbox cannot know the URL of the current visit?

                I’d contact Strongbox and see if they can get the extension working on Orion if possible. The developer is very responsive.

                  Vlad Yes, we can't expose current URL to system autofill extensions, as we don't have access to those extensions due to macOS's policies. Only internal apps are allowed to have access to those autofill extensions.

                    Just tested this. Official StrongBox extension does not work, tried both Firefox and Chrome extension. The extensions work in their designated browsers so this looks like Orion missing some APIs required for the extension. The extensions say that they cannot connect to StrongBox even though it's running.

                    Tested this again with current build. Strongbox Firefox extension is working now and can connect to Strongbox.

                    Just tried installing the Firefox Strongbox extension (v. 1.2.3) in Orion Version 0.99.128.2.1-beta (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2) and it connects to Strongbox but doesn't find any entries at all, neither with domain matching or search. Creating a new entry in the database gives an error, but actually works and shows up in Strongbox.

                    Not sure if this is a problem on Orion's or Strongbox' end. Here's some screenshots:

                      The current Autofill behaviour keeps me from switching to Orion. Password integration is essential to me. I am sorry to say, the Strongbox Autofill and URL detection is so much more reliable in Safari and Chromium. Whereas in Orion you have to adjust the URLs constantly and switch between Strongbox 3rd Party extension and the native macOS implementation.

                        Not technically on-topic, perhaps - but if you’re using Strongbox you may wish to review that decision.

                          sarno Thanks for sharing. My last post isn't limited to Strongbox.

                              howdytom I hadn't responded to you in particular; it was just a post in the thread. 🙂
