To disable the autofill feature and potentially stop the persistent notification, follow these steps:
- Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select System Settings (or System Preferences on older versions).
- Scroll down and select Passwords.
- You will likely need to enter your login password or verify with Touch ID to unlock your saved passwords.
- In the Passwords section, look for Password Options (it might be a button or a link).
- Toggle off the setting for AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys.
If you are seeing the prompt specifically within a browser other than Safari (like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) and you use the iCloud Passwords extension, you might also need to:
- Remove or disable the iCloud Passwords browser extension if you use a different primary password manager or do not want the Apple feature in that browser.
If the notification persists, other potential steps
- Restarting your Mac after making the change.
- Checking Touch ID settings (if applicable) in System Settings > Touch ID & Password and ensuring "Use Touch ID for autofilling passwords" is also turned off.
- Logging out of and then back into your Apple ID in System Settings (click your name/profile at the top of the sidebar).
