Typo: "associaltion" is misspelled in this sentence; it should be "association".

Grammar/wording issues in this line reduce clarity: it should be "Capgo provides an AASA tester" (not "Capgo provide a"), and "site association" shouldn’t be capitalized mid-sentence.

### Save Credentials

To control the saving of username and password credentials with the native iOS Password Manager you will need to use the [capacitor-ios-autofill-save-password](https://github.com/cuongpl/capacitor-ios-autofill-save-password) plugin:

The text still states users need to use the capacitor-ios-autofill-save-password plugin (and links to that repo), but the install/import instructions below are for @capgo/capacitor-autofill-save-password. This is internally inconsistent and will mislead readers—update the plugin name/link in this sentence (and consider explicitly noting that the old plugin is no longer compatible on recent iOS versions, if that’s the intent).

```bash

Your code will need to save credentials after successful login if it targets iOS (other platforms do not require this):
```typescript
import { SavePassword } from '@capgo/capacitor-autofill-save-password';

if (Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'ios') {

This Android section says the plugin supports reading/writing passwords in the "keychain", but "Keychain" is iOS terminology (Android uses Keystore). Also there’s a double space after "Or" and "setup" should be "set up" as a verb. Please reword this to use platform-accurate terminology and fix the spacing/grammar.
