Yes. If you have access to a password vault. Otherwise your browser could not do that. Implementation depends.
But a better solution is to use certificates.( can be self signed) which is the academically optimal solution.
I use the latter solution for - some - of my own websites. I present a dialog if you do not have a certificate but If you even try a password you get dropped and logged....if you do not have the proper client certificate. /dev/null and more.

Thaddy,

Hello. Thank you for responding. To be clear the scenario that I had in mind was that I have my
personal UN/PW that had been stored locally and was accessible by my application already decrypted
and the Google.com login page is open in my browser and waiting for the UN/PW fields to be typed in.

Can I somehow, in that scenario, fill in the UN/PW fields via Pascal code without certificates? I know that
I could probably just copy them to the clipboard via code and past manually, but I was imagining
autofilling the fields similar to how "Lastpass" or "Protonpass" does it.

Thanks

Isn’t this an issue of browser itself? I think you can find a file that browser stores id/pw list, and it would be editable.

in fact there is something interesting about it in the forum even if I don't know how it achieves the goal you can see the link:
