{AUTO-HIDE} will hide the entry from Autofill.
{AUTO-RANK-HI} will increase the rank of an entry (highest is shown on the Quicktype bar).

The use of this feature is optional.
• Now only supporting iOS 12 and later.
• Auto-lock and Lock on App Switch moved to App Settings.

AUTOFILL NOTES
• Enable in Settings / Passwords & Accounts / Autofill Passwords.
• The upgraded app must be used to open a safe at least once, before that safe’s TouchID/FaceID credentials are available for autofill.
• The quicktype bar is only populated with entries in your safe that contain a username, password and valid homepage. If you find the Autofill quicktype bar isn’t offering you the correct username, ensure the homepage field is correct. Homepage may be set to either the bare website domain name eg. www.google.com, or a complete URL eg. https://www.google.com/login. In either case SamuraiSafe extracts the domain name (google.com in this instance), and this is used to match against the website URL.
• If you are unable to configure Autofill because iCloud was disabled, after enabling iCloud in Settings you must restart the Settings app before trying again.
• Third party keyboards may not work as smoothly with the Quicktype Bar as Apple keyboards, particularly with apps. If you have problems, try an Apple keyboard.
• Please report any issues, problems or confusing behaviour.
