Description
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Go to a website in safari that has a saved password (https://www.royalroad.com/for instance)
2. Click on username field to login
3. Autofill using account identified in top row of keyboard area (from bitwarden, identified correctly for the site)
4. Click login (success)
5. After login a modal pops up asking if I want to save
### Expected Result
I should not be bothered with a modal popup to save a password that was just autofilled from bitwarden. It's obviously working and correctly identifies the site.
### Actual Result
I get a popup every single time from sites that were just autofilled by bitwarden

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on the reported iPadOS and iOS versions using the Safari autofill flow described. Trace the iOS autofill and save-password entry points to determine why a successful Bitwarden autofill still triggers the save prompt. Done means the prompt no longer appears for passwords just autofilled from Bitwarden, with regression coverage for the reported steps.
