Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox?

Interestingly, auto-filling can also be more secure than just typing in your credentials, because the extensions will only fill if the site URL matches, where as people can be tricked into thinking they are on a different site.

It’s not auto-fill that is insecure, it’s auto-fill without interaction.
