Describe the solution you'd like?
On macOS, in native text fields with native context menus, opening the context menu shows an option "AutoFill" with sub option "Passwords...". Clicking this shows a pop-up where you can search for any password stored in the password manager. I'd like this option to be in Warp as well.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can't remember all passwords. Right now for Warp, if I need to fill a password that I don't know by heart (e.g. sudo on a remote machine), I have to open the passwords app and copy and paste. In other terminals, like the macOS included Terminal or Ghostty, the "AutoFill" > "Passwords..." option in the context menu allows me to fill passwords without leaving the flow.
Additional context
Was really happy with the native feel of the Warp input field: native keyboard shortcuts like cursor navigation, keyboard only text selection, and forward delete simply work like I expect them to on macOS. If this autofill option also worked like native, switching to Warp would be a no-brainer.
I've done some exploring, and this request is somewhat related to #2648. I think this autofill functionality can only be implemented via the native macOS context menu. The Frameworks Apple provides for password suggestions require Associated Domains entitlements, so they don't allow filling any and all passwords.
It's also related to #1087, but I feel like my request is of smaller scope.
Here's some images demonstrating the native flow I am used to, in the macOS included Terminal:
