Bug Description

Is this a joke or what? Even on my 5 year old Nokia N900, the builtin Web browser had form autocomplete, and password management.

On Ubuntu phone's Web browser, I have to re-enter user name and password of each web site manually. The browser remembering it from the previous visit :-(

IMHO, this should be one of the top priorities to implement for the next release. In 2015, you just don't release a "production ready" browser without password management. This makes using many social networking sites a pain :-(

What I expect to happen:
   when I visit a login form, which I visited already before, it should fill in user name and password as entered last time (or offer me a choice, if during the past visits, I used different pairs of credentials)

What happened instead:
  form shows up blank, even if I've been there before
