Flutter password autofill

Flutter Password Autofill:

To enable autofill functionality in a password field in Flutter, you need to use the TextFormField widget along with the TextInputType property. By setting the TextInputType to TextInputType.visiblePassword, the password field will have autofill support. Here’s an example:


TextFormField(
  obscureText: true,
  decoration: InputDecoration(
    labelText: 'Password',
  ),
  keyboardType: TextInputType.visiblePassword,
  autofillHints: [AutofillHints.password],
)

In the above code snippet, the TextFormField is set to obscureText: true which means the password text will be hidden by default. The decoration property sets the label text of the password field. The keyboardType property is set to TextInputType.visiblePassword which activates the autofill functionality. The autofillHints property is set to AutofillHints.password which helps the system identify the field as a password field for autofill purposes.

By providing this configuration, when a user attempts to fill the password field using autofill, the system will recognize it as a password field and prompt the user to choose the relevant credentials.
