Copy & paste inconvenience when entering a site manually #160

Open fortran77 opened 6 years ago

fortran77 commented 6 years ago

Suppose I have an email address and a secret already available on a web browser screen. To enter this manually I want to first copy-and-paste the email address and then copy-and-paste the secret.

But each time I click on the web browser screen, the extension window vanishes. When I invoke the extension and the manual entry mode again, the previously-pasted field is empty.

So there is no way to copy-and-paste both the email address and the secret.

Not all Chrome extensions do this. Most will permit you to copy-and-paste multiple fields. They remember the previously-pasted entries. That would be a more desirable behavior in this extension too.
