Since upgrading to IOS11.0.2 (and with (11.0.1 before it) I have been unable to use miniKeePass on my iphone. My usual procedure is to tap the arrow alongside the URL of the site of interest which opens the site's login page, then tap twice in the username box and select 'Username' from the two choices which appear (Username and Password), then tap twice in the password box and this time select 'Password'. Now, in IOS 11.0.2, the username/password option box no longer opens; instead the twin options which appear are Paste and Look Up and selecting either of these appears to do nothing. Copying and pasting the username and password direct out of minikeepass, which I used to do before finding out the 'proper' method, is not an option on some websites, e.g. Amazon, because the log-in page conceals minikeepass from view and there's no way to get back to it while the login page is open. Also, some log in pages do not allow you to paste anything into the password box anyway. I've not seen this problem posted elsewhere and wondered if it was peculiar to me and the new iphone 8 but the problem is identical on my wife's iphone 6.
I use MiniKeePass, but I've never used this particular feature. I also haven't upgraded to iOS 11 yet (because I'm still looking for alternatives to other apps that don't work on iOS 11), yet on testing what you described, I only get "Paste" and "Look Up" like you're getting. MiniKeePass has had several updates in the past few weeks (one of which unintentionally removed the search box), so this change may be completely unrelated to iOS version. You'd be better off asking on the MiniKeePass forum; the people there would know more about that app than us.
The custom browser you end up in after doing this has two buttons in the title bar (👨 and ✱) that seem to work for me.

Many thanks for finding those two buttons for me, they are the obvious way to do this. I've not seen them before and I don't know whether they're new or not but, when the programme didn't work as I expected, I completely failed to spot these. I should have got any of my 8 grandchildren round for help, no doubt they'd have found these buttons in seconds (:-)).
