What is AutoFill?

AutoFill automatically fills in your login credentials for websites and applications without you having to type them manually. When you visit a login page, ZZPass recognizes the website and offers to fill your saved username and password with a single tap or click.

⏱️ Saves Time

No more typing usernames and passwords. AutoFill enters your credentials instantly with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device password.

🎯 Reduces Errors

Eliminate typos and forgotten passwords. AutoFill enters credentials accurately every time, ensuring reliable logins.

🔒 Improves Security

Use unique, strong passwords for every account without the burden of remembering them. AutoFill makes strong passwords practical.

Advanced Tips

Managing Multiple Accounts

If you have multiple accounts for the same website:
• Tap/click the key icon to see all accounts
• Use descriptive usernames or add notes
• Consider using different account names (e.g., "work", "personal")

AutoFill for Subdomains

For websites with subdomains (login.example.com vs app.example.com):
• Save credentials with the main domain
• ZZPass will suggest them on subdomains
• Or create separate entries for each subdomain

Privacy Considerations

Biometric Authentication:
Face ID/Touch ID is processed locally on your device. Your biometric data never leaves your device and isn't sent to ZZPass or Apple.

AutoFill Data:
AutoFill suggestions are generated locally on your device using your encrypted password vault.

How AutoFill Protects You from Phishing

Domain Matching: ZZPass AutoFill only suggests passwords for websites that exactly match the saved domain. If you visit a phishing site like "app1e.com" (with a number 1 instead of letter L), ZZPass won't suggest your Apple credentials.

Visual Warning: If no credentials are suggested on a familiar-looking login page, it may be a phishing attempt. This is AutoFill protecting you by refusing to fill credentials on a suspicious domain.

HTTPS Verification: AutoFill works best on secure HTTPS websites. If a site is using HTTP (not secure), be cautious about entering credentials.
