Exact steps to reproduce the problem

1. open a webpage login screen to fill in credentials on a domain with multiple credentials

2. press shortcut to fill in credentials

3. credentials get filled in with the last used credentials

What should happen?

I would prefer browserpass extension to prompt a list showing that multiple credentials are available and let user explicitely choose a credentials

Perhaps automatically highlitght the last used credentials to make it easy to choose them

What happened instead?

form was filled in with last used credentials

Hello, I think what you are looking for is the other shortcut we have, which opens the popup 😊 There you see all your multiple credentials, and the last used one is highlighted and ready to be filled in with Enter keypress.

thanks, yeah I've missed ctrl shift l, maybe that's enough although on most of the websites I just go straight for ctrl shift f to fill in the single credential and only occasionally have to go through multiple credentials, when that happens though I think it would be nice if extension hinted you in some way "is this definitely the credential you wanted to use?"

[maximbaz]

Ctrl Shift F was primarily built for speed, for cases when you are 100% sure the last login is the correct one - for example for login forms where you first enter email, then submit form, then another form shows up asking for password, and since you just submitted email, you know the password is most definitely in the latest entry - asking for a confirmation would somehow be counter-productive to this idea.

I get that you are looking for a combination of the two, a shortcut that behaves like Ctrl Shift F if there is one credential for the website and Ctrl Shift L if there are more than one, I just don't know it the additional benefits warrant us creating yet another shortcut 🤔

It would be good to hear from others if they think this type of feature would be useful. I expected people with many credentials to come across this a lot. However, if that was the case more than creating a new shortcut I'd rather add an optional behaviour to old shortcut ctrl shift f to do what ctrl shift l is doing only if multiple credentials are available.
