Disable 10.14.4 Safari auto-submit of login forms

One of the new "features" in the latest Safari update is that it auto-submits login forms after populating your passwords for you. While good in theory, it's a disaster for me. I use a few sites that have Captchas on them and when i click on my username, the password populates and Safari submits the form before I have completed the captcha causing a login failure.

Is there a way to disable this feature? I have dug through the settings and can't seem to find the option. I've already been locked out of one account and I'm scared to login to my school website for fear of getting locked out of that too!

Thanks

This does not work for me on a Wordpress site with reCaptcha. If I check the "I'm not a robot" box before entering my info, it says it's an invalid reCaptcha value :/

This feature is annoying like everyone has already said. But I found a work-around for SOME sites.

First, customize your toolbar and add the autofill button. Use this button rather than clicking the pop-up box for autofilling passwords.

It doesn't work for every site for some reason, but might be worth a try. If it doesn't work go back to manual entry.
