Safari AutoFills in fields

Has anyone encountered the following behavior? When I enter the first two characters (jr) in a UserID field it auto completes my full email address (jr????@gmail.com). Please see picture #2.

I have unchecked the features in Safari / Preferences / AutoFill, please see picture #3.

BTW, this only happens in Safari. In Chrome it does not autofill.

How do I stop email autofill when completing forms/sign-ons on my iPhone or MacBook Air Whenever I'm asked to submit a username that contains my email address it double adds the email address...I can type my email address up to the period for .com and nothing happens. However, when I type the period, it adds my email for a second time and then I have to go back and erase the duplicate letters/numbers. Here is what it would look like... mickey_mouse@gmail.commickey_mouse@gmail.com. I've tried clicking on the blue hyperlink, but rather than competing my email, it does nothing. Most the time I don't see the hyperlink so both emails are entered. How can I turn this off? I see instructions for Safari, but I never use safari...I use Google.

Have you tried going to Safari/Preferences/Passwords and unchecking AutoFill there?

Yes sir. I have tried just about everything I know. That thing is buried deep within Safari, and some kind of shortcut entry.
