Logins & Passwords - cannot filter by password

[jscher2000]

Steps to reproduce

In the Filter bar on the Logins & Passwords page, type the first character of a known password (this issue does not affect user names).

Expected behavior

Matching login should be displayed, similar to Firefox on desktop.

Actual behavior

Nothing is displayed. Ref. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1363176

I cannot tell whether #9666 covers this because the problem doesn't seem to be caused by typing too quickly or failing to cancel a previous search.

Device & build information

• Devices: iPhone and iPad
• Build version: 40.2

We currently don't support filtering logins by password search. This is a feature request rather than a bug or issue. We will discuss with the team and triage it accordingly. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Simon, what's this filter option for if not for searching passwords? Searching for passwords worked pretty well in Lockwise.

[robertburke14]

Yeah, what? This definitely worked in the past, the search bar is present in the current release, and the release notes explicitly mention this being fixed. It’s still not working for me. I get an endless spinner and the app crashes if I tap the ‘x’.

@robertburke14 There's three fields that are saved in the Logins & Passwords view: Website, Username and Password. The search bar filters the website and username fields. Passwords aren't searched.

In other words, if I have the following: Website: www.mywebsite.com Username: myname Password: 123456

If I go in the search bar and enter 123456 that entry isn't going to appear. The feature request here is that 123456 would find that entry.

[robertburke14]

I see. I'm having trouble searching by website and username still.

@robertburke14 On which version are you? There was supposed to be a recent fix on that matter.

[robertburke14]

I saw that, which is why I'm confused. I'm on the most recent - 97. Like I said, it just spins and spins and crashes if I try to cancel.

@SimonBasca Do you know more about this here ^^ ?

[robertburke14]

@lmarceau thanks for looking into this!

[SimonBasca]

We had a similar issue that should have been fixed in v97.0 (#9477). Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce the issue before or after the fix. In my case the the login search filed was filtering correctly.

@robertburke14 on what device and iOS version is the issue reproducible? Do you have a large number of logins synced?

[robertburke14]

I was on an iPhone 8 with the most recent versions of Firefox. I've updated to an iPhone 13, and while the logins do load now when searching, they all say "(no username)" and have no password. It no longer prompts to enter remembered passwords either.
