Since some time ago, browsers will allow users to generate a secure password for the application, they are using.
This seems like a nice feature, but can have unwanted side effects, like the users cannot know his password, if prompted on another domain.
Is there a way to control, for which pages the generated password might be suitable?
Is there a way to tell the browser, that he's seeing a password reset or change for a specific domain?
Essentially, I'd like to allow the browser to autofill at login.contoso.com, when I originally set the password at account.contoso.com.
AFAIK in Edge/Chrome, if you want to autofill the password for a specific domain, you can "Add password" in password manager.
Edge: Settings --> Passwords --> Add password
Chrome: Settings --> Autofill --> Add
Also, if you have saved password in a subdomain like account.contoso.com, you will have an "autofill" dropdown menu (click the box to call) in another subdomain like login.contoso.com. Though it is not the exact "autofill".

I have a web app that when I open it in chrome on my cellphone, it suggests generating password in the login page, like this.
The question is, how can I add some semantics to my html field that chrome just suggests strong password generation in registration page and not in login page.
See the autocomplete attribute.
Set it to current-password or new-password as applicable.
Let's say you have a site for saving your pets' credentials: you log in, then you can see your puppy's username/password and your kitten's username/password.
But in Firefox, if you choose to save your own logins just to get into the site, it will then auto-fill puppy's form and kitten's form with your credentials.
Chrome seems to behave correctly and Safari gives you the option (without automatically populating puppy/kitten's forms).
Is there something I can set on the forms so that browsers can differentiate them from the main site's login form?
I'm new here on stackoverflow.
I'm writing a Form to add a Album to a gallery, but now I discovered a problem in Firefox which I've never had. The password field is already set. I never filled out the form.
Does somebody knows, why Firefox fills text in?
If it is a saved password, you will be able to find it in the security and password settings (see link for more information). If you've saved a password on a different portion of the site (say you have a form on www.site.com/login.html and www.site.com/admin.html for example), it could be pulling it from there.
Is there a way to bring the new email window (outlook or default email client) to focus when clicking a mailto hyperlink from a webpage within a browser?

Thank you in advance.
Not explicitly, since that's up to the operating system and (in some cases) user-configured preferences. FWIW, the default behavior of most operating system / browser configurations does exactly what you want. So, if it doesn't work that way for a particular user, that's most likely because the user has specifically configured his or her system otherwise.
Is there a way to limit the url of saved credentials in browsers?
For example, if I save a username and password for http://www.website.com/login can I make it so that the rest of the forms in the site don't use these details? http://www.website.com/members, http://www.website.com/admin etc...
I'm aware of the autocomplete attribute but I don't want to turn off autocomplete entirely. I would like it if the browser remembered the login details per form or url.
Nope, browsers simply remember details for a base domain (or subdomain). You can't set it to remember credentials for only specific pages. (Note that domain.com and www.domain.com are considered different domains).
