Description

### Steps To Reproduce

After the latest update (with the major UI change) I am no longer able to auto fill on a website that was always working okay with auto fill

Nothing have changed in the website either.

Website is being detected okay as the appropriate domain (it shows up in the shortlist when opening the browser extension)

When clicking on the entry, I am getting the following error message
> Unable to auto-fill the selected item on this page. Copy and paste the information instead.

### Expected Result

For the password to be auto filled

### Actual Result

An error message

Research direction

Start by reproducing the autofill failure in the browser extension on Windows with Chrome and build 1.56.1, using the reported steps and screenshot as references. Trace the selected-entry autofill path after the domain is detected; done means the password autofills instead of showing the copy-and-paste error.
