I've just migrated from Pixel 6pro to pixel 10.. the autofill from password manager continually asks me "share your info with captive portal login.?"
I've attached the screen shot..
Using android 16.. everything is up to date
I can't figure out why this has suddenly started.. it's extremely annoying.

Captive portal login is the function that redirects you to a login window when connecting you to many public Wi-Fi hotspots. I know you said this keeps happening when logging into the same website with the box checked, but are you connecting to the same hotspot as well?

It's usually my WiFi provider hotspot when I'm out and about. My beef is that this did not happen on my 6 pro with the same version of Android . It would ask for username and password but not the captive portal login first.. I never ever saw that on the 6
 
I don't use Google's password manager. I wonder if it's a combination of a function difference between phones (even with the same Android version, different phone models can have different abilities) where the new one has more security features, and IP tracking where it sees each login as a separate hot spot despite being the same company.

What happens if you follow the process with the box checked, logout, then log back in to the same hotspot location, does it ask again?

That is something I haven't tried.. Yet..!
