Lightning Autofill v12.5.3 released
This is a hotfix release to fix a regression issue where your passwords are replaced with bullet characters (●) when you autofill password fields. Thank you Jan and Mike for reporting 🙏. Apologies, we should’ve caught this — this is what happens when you go on many days without a lot of sleep 😅.
We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that passwords are NOT encrypted by the browser’s storage API, so we would not use Lightning Autofill to store bank passwords and such. Use a dedicated tool like Bitwarden or your browser’s built-in password manager if you value your security. If the account is not important to you (e.g., forums, burner accounts), then it’s perfectly fine.
