Autofill Setup

SyVault can automatically fill login credentials across all major platforms. This guide covers setup and behavior for each.

Web (Browser Extension)

Install the SyVault browser extension (see Browser Extension). Once installed:

1. Navigate to a login page.
2. The extension icon shows a badge count of matching credentials.
3. Click the input field -- SyVault presents a dropdown of matches.
4. Select a credential to fill username and password in one step.

The extension matches credentials by domain, with subdomain tolerance. For example, a record saved for example.com will match login.example.com and app.example.com.

Desktop (Tauri)

The Tauri desktop app provides the same autofill behavior as the browser extension. It registers a system-wide keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L / Cmd+Shift+L) that opens the autofill overlay on top of the currently focused application.

iOS

1. Open Settings > Passwords > AutoFill Passwords.
2. Enable SyVault as a provider.
3. When a login field is focused in Safari or any app, iOS presents SyVault suggestions above the keyboard.

tip

On iOS 17+, you can set SyVault as your default provider, and iCloud Keychain suggestions will no longer appear.

Android

1. Open Settings > System > Autofill service (path varies by manufacturer).
2. Select SyVault.
3. Login fields across all apps and browsers will now show SyVault suggestions.

Domain Matching

SyVault uses the Public Suffix List to determine effective top-level domains. This prevents overly broad matching (e.g., co.uk is not treated as a single registrable domain). You can also add equivalent domains in Settings to link related sites such as microsoft.com and live.com.

warning

If autofill suggests credentials on an unexpected domain, verify the URL carefully before filling -- this could indicate a phishing page.
