Bug 1166113 - Use the autocomplete result GUID to fill the correct password. r=sfoster
(deleted), text/x-phabricator-request
Details
When the Password Manager finds more than one login, the way we fill username and passwords is a bit odd (see bug 1127567 comment 15). First we search for logins to fill the username field. Then we search for logins again to fill the password field (and make an additional request to the parent). Instead, we should take the data returned from nsLoginManager.js:autoCompleteSearchAsync to populate the username, and also use it to populate the password field.

The autocomplete results should be fetched and populated only in the parent process then upon filling, fillForm can be used. See also bug 1520280 for satchel.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Needed for bug 589628 otherwise the wrong password will be filled if there are multiple autocomplete suggestions for the same username (e.g. on different subdomains).

For Firefox 69 I think we can just use the guid of the filled login at the time of "autocomplete-did-enter-text" to fill the correct password.

I didn't do the full solution proposed in comment 1 so I filed bug 1555209 for that.

Needed for bug 589628 otherwise the wrong password will be filled if there are multiple autocomplete suggestions for the same username (e.g. on different subdomains).

Save two logins with the same username but different passwords on two different subdomains (you can use about:logins for this) then ensure the correct matching password is filled for both logins from the autocomplete popup. This only applies on Fx70+ since the two prefs at https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D26389#change-5D4xp5p5yudd need to be true.
