Safari not autofilling SOME passwords

Autofill passwords is selected.

Password exists in password list and is correct.

"Remember me" ticked wherever possible.

...but, for the last few weeks, for example;

Facebook won't auto login

Twitter not only won't auto login, but insists every login is from a new device, even if I sign in, sign out and immediately sign in again (each time not autofilling)

BBC sometimes, not others,

This website ok

Some financial institutions ok

Two frequently used forums, no issues at all.

Have restarted several times to no avail.

Anybody got any ideas, please? Thx
