Change login screen to work with password managers and add Single Sign-On

[FutureTense]

The sign on process doesn’t work with password managers. This would be a nice addition, as well as adding single sign on for Google, Facebook etc.

While I know HA is designed to not require internet access, single sign on options are very convenient, as are password managers.

Non-javasctipt login for password managers

For password management I make heavy use of KeePass using Kee as the browser extension. This issue I am having is it appears Home-assistant loads the new Login form using javascript. Using javascript in this way breaks most Password manager auto-input mechanisms - see note #2. It would be a security boon to support password managers properly.

Login using password manager

Home assistant has changed the login screen some time ago. Now, we have to enter login name and password. nothing wrong with that. However the way it is done is not supported by most populair password managers like enpass, lastpass, onepass etc. It seems that the input fields can not be recognised. Looking with inspector I see that the inputfield for loginname has no class name or id that can relate it to an input for login. It would be very safe and convenient if we could use password manager…

Please allow password managers to remember the login credentials

Can you please markup the HTML so that password managers can save the login information if we allow it? And use the standard checkbox instead of a popup to remember the user. Everyone has different levels of security concerns, but this is a pain when linking with services like Google Assistant.

Improve login screen (better autofill for password managers + autofocus cursor)

I’d be nice if the tags on the login fields were correct for password managers and such to understand them and autofill them. https://hiddedevries.nl/en/blog/2018-01-13-making-password-managers-play-ball-with-your-login-form That blog post might be able to help. Also, having the login field (and two auth code field) ‘auto-focus’ the cursor. That’s another click less then

Isn’t the problem when the login dialog pops up? I think the password managers have a hard time with that login dialog (which the browser itself throws up for certain AUTH scenarios, like if you were using .htpass or something old school). My Orbi router does the same thing and I have the same problem with 1Password there. If there were an actual login page it would be fine. caveat: I have not looked at the source code to see what part of the stack implements the auth dialog.

I second this, as I expect many do and just dont bother looking into fixing it. Come on man! Please fix asap

I too would like the Home Assistant Login screen to work with LastPass. Suggestion: bundling together these two features in one request seems unwise. Updating the login screen to be more friendly with LastPass is likely trivial, just need to make sure the field are easily identified with unique names. Integrating with Single-Signon is likely more difficult. Worried that bundling these two together means the easier fix won’t get done

[csharper]

I agree. I’m interested with getting keepass to work. Single signon isn’t useful to me.

Looks like there is a github issue tracking this feature request here: https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/3133
