I know Pass is new and growing, but I always thought that maybe it doesn't auto-fill credit card info because expanding the field types that get auto-filled past Username and password is difficult. But now that we have identities (which I'm super happy about), I'm thinking cc auto fill is being withheld for security reasons or something instead of technical ones.

What do you think?

There's no real security reason not do it. Most likely they simply haven't goten to it yet. No reason to assume they never will.

I guess the reason I'm concerned about it is because with Identities, they added a new entry type and let it autofill at the same time. Whereas the credit card entry type has been around from the beginning and still doesn't have autofill.
