Thanks for the report @koji-1009
I am not exactly clear as what is the current / actual bug and what's the expected behavior are you looking for ?
I tried the code sample locally and after entering user and pass and then hitting
go to third page, it shows the save password dialog.Also, the same save password dialog is displayed after we hit submit button.
Can you elaborate on the actual vs expected behavior ?
koji-1009 commentedon Mar 26, 2024
Thanks for the reply!
The sample code sets
AutofillContextAction.cancel. Therefore, displaying save password dialog on screen transition is not an expected behavior. I think this behavior is expected inAutofillContextAction.commit.https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/AutofillContextAction.html
AutofillContextAction.commitAutofillContextAction.cancelThe expected behavior is that the save password dialog is only displayed when the
submitbutton is pressed (with username and password entered).koji-1009 commentedon Mar 26, 2024
If you try it on an Android device, it works as expected. If necessary, I will take a video and attach it.

Thanks for the update and info which makes it clear now what exactly the issue is, which I see the same behavior on latest versions.
