To the best of my knowledge, you can't. Not remembering is the main purpose of Private Browsing. You need to use a normal window to do that.

Safari Private mode Login issue Dear all, Safari continues to maintain private sessions, but whenever I attempt to open a Facebook post in a new tab, I'm prompted to log in to Facebook once more. Safari is still active. I've experimented with Amazon, YouTube, and other websites in private mode, and I encounter the same issue: opening in a new tab prompts me to log in again. This issue doesn't occur when browsing in a non-private mode. It started happening after I updated my iOS to the latest version, iOS 17.0.3 (21A360). I've searched through the settings for any options related to cookies, but I couldn't find anything. I'm wondering if there might be a new Safari setting causing this, or if it's something that needs to be fixed. Kind regards

Safari 13 and FaceBook Login Over the past three months I have had a heck of a time logging in to FaceBook. Usually I am told "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." I have changed passwords, user ID several times. The only way I can get connected is to sign in on an anonymous window. This is depressing.

can't log into facebook in safari 13.05 I have just switched over to Safari from Chrome. I've logged into all my other accounts(Amazon, NYTimes, Google, etc) just fine. But when I try to log into Facebook using the correct password that was autofilled by OSX password vault I get this message: You can't use this feature at the moment We limit how often you can post, comment or do other things in a given amount of time to help protect the community from spam. You can try again later. Learn More The strange thing is that all I am trying to do is log in, yet the message I get is about a certain feature being restricted. But I am not trying to use a specific feature - I am just trying to log on. Also I hardly ever post anything on Facebook and hardly ever comment. I have deleted cookies and restarted Safari. I am logged into facebook just fine using the same password on my other devices and the Facebook app on my iPhone.

When using Private Windows, Safari doesn't save data for reuse. When you click open in new tab, it doesn't 'remember' you were on the page before. Older article, but the basics remain the same.

From the article below.

Safari doesn’t remember the webpages you visit or your AutoFill information.
