Safari Started To Auto Login

This is a new feature introduced in the latest update.

"Streamlines website login when filling credentials with Password AutoFill"

Section: Safari

What's new in the updates for macOS Mojave - Apple Support

As a test "Disable "Remember Me" under user ID and Password fields.

Options will be available.

Now click inside boxes. A blue highlighted pop-up will appear below the box showing the password.

Click it enter the password.

Click the arrow button to login.

Unless you click, Auto login will not take place.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

Safari Feedback

Thanks for your help, but that doesn't solve the general issues. Lots of sites do not have the "remember me" option/button, but do have captcha, TWF authentification...

So for all those sites it is impossible to use the autofill anymore, since it then automatically tries to login after filling user and password, bypassing the other fields.

It is a nice idea, but should have a turn off option somewhere.

I really wish they would make it optional. This new feature is preventing my 1Password from prompting me to save a password when logging into a new website. As a result I just completely turned off autofill passwords in safari.

Boy, this is an INCREDIBLY annoying "feature." I wish Apple would start offering a toggle switch to turn off new features like this instead of forcing it on everyone regardless of preference. And it's really frustrating when a form has the wrong password stored and auto-submits or you manage to hit enter out of habit and submit twice.

Regardless, is there a way to turn this dumb idea off?

Nope, no fix and I think it's time to face it, Safari sucks. I won't even play audio, videos, you can't click on buttons to proceed to the next page, yet when I switch to chrome, it al works perfectly. Very sad, life long Mac user hear but so long Safari!

Honestly, Safari just gets worse and worse, I'm in the process of migrating my bookmarks and passwords to Chrome so that everything will work properly.

It's a sad day for me, long time Mac user here but they're declining in several areas.

Apple should never have introduced this feature without a toggle switch to begin with. I think it’s been demonstrated time and time again through no shortage of security issues that software carrying out automatic actions on behalf of the user without the user’s consent is just a terrible idea. I don’t know why tech companies fail to learn this lesson. If it’s an automatic action, it needs to have an option to be disabled.

I agree a toggle would have been nice (I was jut beginning getting used to it).

But this: did anyone look at the new and changed features ? I was expecting something like "disabled auto-login" ... But no. Nothing at all.

Apple is never wrong.

Apple is always right.

When Apple goofs ... it is never wrong.

Removing the jack plug from iPhones ? Apple is never wrong.

Removing all connectivity from MacBookPros ? Apple is never wrong.

Replacing keyboard on MacBookPros with the "butterfly" keyboard ? Apple is never wrong.

Let's face it, Safari is a total s***show, it's barely usable/bearable (for many reasons) with no fix in sight. Apple trapped us dedicated users who have years of bookmarks and now we have to go elsewhere to avoid the constant frustrations.

I understand some people's frustration but I LOVED this featured until it disappeared. Could just drop down the user name and boom on my way. Now I'm as upset as you all were that it was there, since it is gone. They should bring it back but with a toggle on/off!

That's dumbest thing they did, they should put a handle to turn it On or Off, it's frustrating.

This is a REAL pain!!!!

Apple has go to give us an option!

I'm about to have to quit using Safari now...totally frustrating!
