Why Must I Constantly Log in to this Site??

Every time I come here, even when I do throughout the day, I am always asked for my passcode, as if I'm not on the same computer, using the same browser, Safari, which signs me in automatically to every other website, BUT APPLE'S! Now that makes zero sense, whatsoever! Why doesn't autofill function on Apple's own website? Is there some preference I overlooked, that would sign me in automatically?

Well, it'll be interesting to see which sign-in window I'll get now, since I've signed in with my Apple ID, and not my admin. password. I still don't understand why we must sign in so very often, you'd think it would just recognize me, as dozens of other sites do...

Nothing here makes sense.... I do have keychain in iCloud enabled, with Apple ID & Password. However, when I try to access this site, it asks me for my password, however, my Apple ID password doesn't work, but my administrator ID does! This makes no sense.

I don't close Safari when I leave, it's open the entire time, and while it was asking me for two-factor authentication, it stopped doing that, and I don't have it selected. I'm not sure why I need such top security for this site, as I don't have any of my sensitive information here. But what is up? Why doesn't it ask for my Apple ID, it just wants my password, and my admin. password works...

I'm puzzled, it shouldn't be wanting that, right?

Yes, I know, but when it asked for my password, a completely different window opened, and my Admin. password is what logged me in. So just now, I clicked on the "use other id", and then got the usual two-step authorization window, so jumped through that hoop for the 1,000th time, again having to say to "trust" this (Safari) browser. This is all so silly and ridiculous, no?

Why must we constantly re-log in to an Apple site, on an Apple computer, on Apple's Safari, after having authorized this browser dozens of times already?

Here's the window I kept getting:



And I'm not sure why, when Preview shows this as 3" high, it shows up here so blown out of proportion...
