I'm using the Strongbox Password Manager and its autofill option — that works nicely for filling in my credentials. But: once I've then click on "login" Safari kicks in and asks whether I'd like to save those credentials (in key chain, I guess).
So: how can I disable Safari being eager to save my creds in key chain and still use Strongbox's autofill integration?
Hi Dirk,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you'd like to disable Keychain on your Mac so that you can use Strongbox Password Manager instead.
You can disable iCloud Keychain in Apple menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > Keychain.
You can learn more about iCloud Keychain here: Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
No. I'd like to disable Safari asking me to to save a user ID/password after it's been supplied via autofill by the third-party password manager Strongbox.
I do not want to disable iCloud keychain.
Perhaps I need to illustrate the flow:
It that last part, Safari asking me whether I'd like to store the credentials that have been supplied via autofill already, which I'd like to disable.
Hello again Dirk,
Thanks for clarifying that for us. That pop-up is a feature of Keychain, and can only be disabled by turning off Keychain. Apple is all about improving the experience for their customers. If you've got a functionality request you'd like to see, let the engineers and developers know here:
Take care and be safe.
How to turn off Safari offering to save the password but still use auto fill with third-party password manager?
