Bug Description
It has happened to me that many captive portals don't work with my phone; as in it doesn't even offer me the chance to enter the login details. This is somehow important for someone that travels and uses airport and hotel's wifis. Can I help in any way to help to better understand the problem and solve it? It's not even that the system doesn't tell me to login; sometimes the browser won't take me anywhere useful to login and get access.

@julia I think we will need more details on this, it may be more on the wifi AP setup side where the issues lie
fwiw I have accessed all such portals the past few months without problems, in my experience you need to open a new tab and enter a new address request to trigger the proper behavior.
