Since a recent upgrade, every time I want to autofill a password I am asked for access to keychain by touch id or machine password. How do I turn this off? All the threads I find so far are for iOS not osx
Use Touch ID on your Mac

Make changes to your preferences:
>System Preferences>TouchID
Uncheck the Safari box

Other options which may require your password can be turned off
From >System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General>Require password
