Does the browser count?

The iPad browser is a trainwreck in this regard. Not only doesn't it support LastPass or 1Password. It also utterly fails to remember passwords that were painfully entered manually.

For most sites it simply doesn't recognize the login at all. On some sites it works intermittently, often forgetting the password for no reason or the auto-fill not working reliably.

And don't get me started on HTTP-Auth. You can save those sites (by making a bookmark) but you get a phishing warning every single time you access it.

I have pretty much abandoned the iPad for browsing for this reason. The only time I fire it up is to lookup a movie on rotten tomatoes.

I'm still bitter this device was pitched to me as "the internet in your hands". It's not up to the task. Not even close.



By default auto-fill is off on the ipad, did you try turning it on for names and passwords?

(I agree that the default behavior sucks)
