[Problem/Bug]: IsPasswordAutosaveEnabled doesn't work.

[DRAirey1]

What happened?

Password autofill doesn't work. Take the sample application from https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Samples. Update the WebView2_CoreWebView2Initialized function to be:

        private async void WebView2_CoreWebView2Initialized(WebView2 sender, CoreWebView2InitializedEventArgs args)
        {
            await sender.EnsureCoreWebView2Async();
            sender.CoreWebView2.Settings.IsPasswordAutosaveEnabled = true;

            if (args.Exception != null)
            {
                StatusUpdate($"Error initializing WebView2: {args.Exception.Message}");
            }
            else
            {
                SetTitle(sender);
            }
        }

Then run the sample application with a site that uses password authentication. (e.g. https://us.etrade.com/home/welcome-back). Nothing happens to the form's password field.

Bump.
Im facing the same issue.
Querying GetIsPasswordAutoFillEnabled returns true as well.
General autofill is working and usernames are being saved in Default/Login \Data. But not passwords.

While I appreciate you adding it to your internal tracker, I'd appreciate a fix or a work-around even more.

@DRAirey1
Have you tried rolling back versions of Webview2 to see if this regression goes away? Wondering if its even worth the effort.

No. It has never worked in a WinUI application.
