YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I did know this already, but it's easily forgotten as it isn't common to need it. I find banking sites are the main place this is useful, as they ask for all sorts of extra information.
I don't know if it is just one site I use or simply a limitation, but I have found that custom fields don't seem to work on mobile.
I've been having some issues on mobile recently. I just tried it myself and the custom fields aren't working for my site either
edit:
as per this comment in the original post, it doesn't work on mobile:
thanks. not sure if I will ever use it but hopefully I remember about it if I need to.
I honestly cannot remember when I had to frequently or even semi-frequently fill out any sort of custom field. Sounds like an extreme edge case scenario or something to very specific user niches.
I wasn't sure which community this was more appropriate for, so I posted in both!
Been trying to figure that out! Thank you so much for the tip!
And here's just a bit of a security warning re: autofil
Isn't this for a browser's autofill? I don't have enough knowledge on the subject, but even though it can be vulnerable, it isn't as bad as browsers?
Yes this is correct, however I think the security risk still rings true for any auto fill in that you have to presume any information entered into an auto fill template can be accessed by any website you use that function
Bitwardens autofill can be disabled and then triggered manually with a click or ctrl+shift+L when you want to login
Thanks, I hope I remember this if this ever is relevant to me.
