Correct HTML markup and authentication flow for compatibility with password manager?

Question

I am working on a webapp written in angular, which seems to have problems interacting with the various password managers (Dashlane, LastPass, etc.) that are there. Are there any recommendations regarding HTML markup and authentication flow for compatibility? This is not only an input stream, but also includes things like reset password, username changes, etc.

Although LastPass can work with most websites, if you are developing your own website, you can help make it compatible with LastPass by using a simple submit form with username, password, and submit.
