@zhenyi Did you do what the popup says, and click the button in the toolbar to enable Password AutoFill?

@ajwk In non‑private mode, clicking the popup brings up another prompt asking for a 6‑digit PIN, and then autofill works. The issue is that in private mode, clicking the popup just dismisses it without showing the PIN prompt, so you can't proceed.

@zhenyi But you can get the prompt for the 6-digit pin by clicking on the toolbar button for the extension, as it says in the message (i.e. not on the popup)

@zhenyi Notice that the message in the popup is different in private mode.

@ajwk Yes, I know about the toolbar button. The issue isn't whether there's a way to trigger autofill, it's that the popup behaves differently in private mode (dismissing instead of prompting for the PIN). That inconsistency forces users to change habits unnecessarily.
