Autofill for a user device

A remote device comprising:

• one or more processors:
• and
• data storage storing instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the remote device to:
• receiving, from a user device, a request for candidate data for use in autofill for an application displayed on a user interface (UI) of the user device, wherein the request comprises a subset of content displayed on the UI, wherein the subset of content displayed on the UI excludes user-specific information and includes information associated with a view hierarchy of the user device;
• determining, based on the view hierarchy and the subset of content displayed on the UI, one or more fillable fields of one or more text input fields displayed on the UI of the user device;
• determining, based on the subset of content displayed on the UI and the one or more fillable fields, a data set, wherein the data set comprises one or more candidate values corresponding to the one or more fillable fields of the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI;
• and
• transmitting, to the user device, a response to the request for candidate data, wherein the response comprises the determined data set comprising the one or more candidate values for entry into the one or more fillable fields of the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause an operating system of a remote device to perform functions comprising:

• receiving, from a user device, a request for candidate data for use in autofill for an application displayed on a user interface (UI) of the user device, wherein the request comprises a subset of content displayed on the UI, wherein the subset of content displayed on the UI excludes user-specific information and includes information associated with a view hierarchy of the user device;
• determining, based on the view hierarchy and the subset of content displayed on the UI, one or more fillable fields of one or more text input fields displayed on the UI of the user device;
• determining, based on the subset of content displayed on the UI and the one or more fillable fields, a data set, wherein the data set comprises one or more candidate values corresponding to the one or more fillable fields of the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI;
• and
• transmitting, to the user device, a response to the request for candidate data, wherein the response comprises the determined data set comprising the one or more candidate values for entry into the one or more fillable fields of the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI.
