Description
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Logout.
2. Go to any website.
3. Use keyboard shortcut for "Auto-fill the last used login for the current website".
4. Login to BW.
### Expected Result
Logging in using the keyboard shortcut should be the same as clicking the BW icon.
### Actual Result
The vault will be and stay empty. "Last sync" is Never.
You have to sync the vault manually for it to load your login credentials.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the browser extension's keyboard-shortcut path for auto-fill, then compare it with the BW icon flow after logout and login. Reproduce the issue in Chrome on Windows and verify that the shortcut loads the vault and updates the last-sync state without a manual sync.
