Back-up a level in the edit pop-over by tapping the button to the left of “Edit Bookmark”.

Save the bookmark by tapping Done.

Open the VisitorNet sign-in page, then “paste” the VNet Username by selecting the Pastelet bookmark. Just tap the bookmarks icon.

Then tap on the Pastelet bookmark to paste in the Username, check the “Agree to Terms” box and set input focus on the password field.

PRO TIP

Use the Settings app — Safari settings to set Always Show Bookmarks Bar as ON and save (or move) the VNet login bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar folder. Then you can more quickly tap the link for your login.

Note: The VNet Pastelet is experimental project done during off-hours. Let me know if you find something to fix.
