Hi! Is there a way to set textContentType (username / password) in compose textfields on iOS? I can see that it has something to do with implementing SkikoUITextInputTraits but I have no idea how to even start setting it in a single text field. My aim is to enable autofill this way.

to show ** you can use PasswordVisualTransformation() and toggle it on of with a button and use VisualTransformation.None if toggled of
and to set the correct keyboard type you can use keyboard options like so

KeyboardOptions.Default.copy(keyboardType = KeyboardType.Password)

@Kilian yes I have it this way. But the keyboard settings do not change autofill behavior and user can't fill in the form using saved username/password.

Resurrecting this old-ish question. Has anyone been able to set textContentType, so we can offer password pre-fill? 🙏

[Alexander Zhirkevich]

@Michal Srutek KeyboardType.Password together with configured associated domain should be enough, isn't it?

[Andrew Steinmetz]

I can see that when I tried to do this that the platform recognizes the autofill for the textfield on the password after, but when actually autofilling it omits the email even though I set the keyboard type to email. Seems like something that we might have to actually create a composable wrapping the swiftui text field to achieve setting content type? There was an example wrapping a text field in the docs, but obviously wouldn't be styled to every other text field in my app with that approach

I've found using the experimental autofill compose api mostly works on iOS https://medium.com/@bagadeshrp/compose-ui-textfield-autofill-6e2ac434e380
