Disable 10.14.4 Safari auto-submit of login forms

OMG. C'mon Apple. I have an office full of people that are hosed this morning after the update yesterday. Please create advanced option to disable submit immediately. Multiple failed logins appear as hacks and get IP addresses blacklisted. This is terrible. Turning off autofill altogether is terrible as well. So we move to Chrome or Firefox until you get it together? Grrrr. Thanks for deciding what i am doing all day today. I swear I am going to go back to turning updates off and doing them six months later again.

Best part of this feature is that it fails on apples discussion login.

Apple really does need to provide options for the disabling of these features that add. I do not care to save a fraction of as second on some websites to waste minutes on websites that it fails on. Or when the feature causes me to get locked out of websites.

Please provide feedback to apple at apple feedback I am tired of this nonsense and I bet if your reading this you are too.

I am having the exact same problem! Thank god I'm not the only weirdo who thinks apple's new move is so stupid.

Apple, sidenote, you started out from a company I really used to love. You did things right. Now, you're like going back and un-doing everything you ever did right.

Auto-login not being a thing

C'mon apple. Seriously, I left Windows cause windows 8 sucked. Please don't pull a microsoft on me cause I will have to switch back, and I truly don't want to.

The "Auto-Submit" needs a way to be disabled. I've been locked out of account because of this feature. It took me a few weeks to finally get so annoyed with it to take the time to write a response. I didn't even know what to call it at first, so it took me a while to find this thread. I want auto fill for passwords, but the the submit to me!

This is a Safari 12.1 issue. I am running MacOS 10.13.6 and it is happening on my Safari.

And I HATE this bug!

I feel LESS secure in my computer because I am not choosing the password and when to submit it.

This is a LESS SECURE BROWSER than it was with this Password Submit BUG.

I use Safari to log in for work and they use dual authentication of my password + six digit pin RSA. So I use the autosaved password ie (qwerty-1erehq-afdfg-rhjfer)(123456)So I just enter the six digit pin. Now I have to enter the entire thing plus the random numbers! This is forcing me to use Chrome instead!

I just updated my work computer to the latest version and encountered this lovely feature. It is making my life miserable! I spoke with apple support and directed them to this thread. The senior advisor that helped me seemed to agree with this being a major issue. I forwarded the thread to the feedback page. She said she would pass it up along her channels. Hopefully they realized that they screwed up royally with this "enhancement".

Just to be clear: the issue is NOT with the auto-filling of credentials. That is nice and well implemented.

The issue is that of Safari automatically CLICKING the "login" button or equivalent. It means that, should the password have expired, I get NO CHANCE to replace the automatically filled password with the new valid one, since Safari already sent the old one!

This is a real pain for sites that limit the number of incorrect passwords, and lock your account out for a variable period.

You are right! This "feature" (or "bug") has been removed (or fixed) into the last version of Safari Technology Preview, which means that Safari 13 will no longer "offer" the auto-submit login forms "feature".

This "enhancement" causes problems on multiple websites. In addition to the CAPTCHA issue, if one uses a website where the password changes every login (eg. secure setups with a token to give a unique password per occasion), it means you can no longer store the login name, then enter the unique password. It now means a manual entry of the login every time, in addition to the password. There needs to be a function to either prevent autosubmit by site, or the ability to switch it off whilst still allowing autocomplete then manual submission of the login and password.

Previously Mac "Just worked" - I'm finding this increasingly not to be the case. You guys need to get back to basics, and think and test your "enhancements" in detail prior to rolling them out.

Please listen to your customers Apple, this is not a helpful feature, it's not something that "we'll all get used to" we do not want you making every decision for us.

Apple users are highly educated, capable people, as several other posters have noted we're perfectly capable of pressing return ourselves.

You should try being a freelance cloud support agent like me, I have lots of customers google account details stored but apple seems to have taken the liberty of deciding that I'll want to automatically log in with the first one in the list and press return for me too.

ERM NO, I want to be able to choose which Google account I log into.

Maybe the answer will be to stop using Safari and make my own decision to use Google Chrome instead.

Maybe this will be the slippery slope back to Windows.......

They should include a flag to enable/disable autosubmit.

Autosubmit doesn't work for A LOT of sites!

I don't want Safari hit ENTER, I want to do that.

My workaround at the moment is switching to Chrome.

I also send a feedback as bug report, because I can't consider this behavior a feature, it is a bug, no doubt.

Hi Odepia, Just wondering on how you know this? Safari 13 will have this feature removed (auto-submit login). Will this be in macOS Mojave 10.14.6 update or macOS Catalina 10.15 update? Can you let me know!Dance33

I'd like to know this too, a number of websites I have to log in to have multiple log-in options after entering username/password, but the autosubmit totally screws with that behavior. With this one little change they just made Safari worthless.
