There are at least 2 websites I visit frequently that I have accounts on, however lately (even before the latest OS update 10.14.4) I'm have to sign back into these websites everyday. And yes I do have the "remember me" checked. Also I see the newest version of Safari (12.1) automatically signs you in when you fill in the user and password fields, can this be turned off?
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

The web sites may have increased their security measures so that you are signed out if you leave the web site or don't have any activity (change) on the web site after X amount of time. I have seen this on banking web sites, credit card web sites, and investment web sites, plus some others.
For the second question, try going to Safari/Preferences/Autofill and uncheck User names and passwords. You may have to experiment to get exactly what you want.
Have you tried contacting web site support to see if they have changed the ability to remain logged in?
The 2 sites are not high security websites (one is pogo.com and the other is comics.com). I've used these 2 sites for 10 years and have previously been able to stay logged into them for months (from the same Mac). I've tried various settings and nothing seems to work.
And I tried the changing my autofill prefs but that doesn't work. I still want the option to autofill but I don't want Safari to automatically hit the "sign in" button. I think this was supposed to be a "feature" of the latest version of Safari.
For the 2 web sites that won't stay logged in, you can try going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy/Manage Website Data and delete the cookies for the web sites. Quit Safari, reopen, and go to the sites to get new cookies. See if that helps.
I gave that a try and it seemed to work. Sort of surprised though since I cleared all my cookies a couple of weeks ago, however, that was before the latest OS update.
Thanks
You are welcome.
Well I guess that really didn't help. A day later those 2 websites were still logging me out. Now I have to log into them sometimes twice a day.
Safari keeps signing me out on certain websites
