IOS 14 Keychain bug that crashes App when clicking on Password fields

Since Apple released the IOS v14, The Safari browser in all IOS devices have a problem with the Input type's password which the application crashes when you click on the Password Input. The problem is The Keychain has a critical problem and wants to autofill a user match but will crashes while loading the matches, So I tried so many ways to fix this issue, and I found these solutions:

  1. Try to use dotsfont by Kyle Welsby

    Usage:

    @font-face {
  font-family: 'dotsfont';
  src: url('dotsfont.eot');
  src: url('dotsfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
       url('dotsfont.woff') format('woff'),
       url('dotsfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
       url('dotsfont.svg#dotsfontregular') format('svg');
}

.conceal{
  font-family: 'dotsfont';
}

    And Check if the Safari Version is Greater than 14 or not, If yes, then the Type attribute of Password Fields should be replaced by text and then add the conceal class to the Input, if not then the Password filed's type should be password. I wrote a few examples in React, Pure javascript, and jQuery.

  2. To disable the Keychain autofill crashes bug, Add the autocomplete="off" attribute to the Password fields. It works just in some cases(I don't know why!!!).

  3. Disable the Keychain Autofill feature. Follow the instruction:

Now, Your iPhone has no crash issue with all Password fields on all websites. This solution is not the best solution but it works.

Fix the problem in:

  1. Login pages: In these types of pages, there is no issue because the Keychain can find a matching item by the username and password fields while you did the 2nd solution before.
  2. Other Pages: In other pages that contain password fields, you should do the 1st solution. and follow the examples folder.

If you have any other solution, please contribute to this repo to tell other programmers how they can fix this huge problem.

The examples folder is not completed yet, I appreciate if you create a Pull Request to add more examples in other Frontend libraries such as Vue, Angularjs, Angular, Polymer, ...

Hope the Apple fix this problem soon.
