In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives? (feddit.dk)

None of your complaints are true if I understand you correctly. The Firefox and Chrome extensions for Bitwarden support auto-fill (on page load) and fill with hotkey Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + L. At least on Mac, unlocking using biometrics (fingerprint) also works, both in the browser extensions and in the native app. On Android, there's both auto-fill (and fill through suggestions at the top of the Android keyboard) and biometrics. There's also a Bitwarden app for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
