On Mac (Safari for macOS)
Method 1 — Remove the site from the “Never Saved” list
If you once told Safari not to save a password, Safari adds that site to a blocklist.
- Open Safari
- Go to Safari → Settings… (Preferences on older macOS)
- Select the Passwords tab
- Authenticate with Touch ID / Password
- Look for a section called “Never Saved” or a list entry with a crossed‑out password
- Delete that entry
After removing it, Safari will once again offer to save the password the next time you log in.
Method 2 — Manually add the password
- Go to Safari → Settings → Passwords
- Click the + button
- Add the website, username, and password manually
Safari will then auto‑fill this login going forward.
On iPhone or iPad (iOS Safari)
Method 1 — Remove the “Never Save” entry
- Open Settings
- Scroll to Passwords
- Authenticate with Face ID / Touch ID
- Scroll to the bottom and look for “Never Saved”
- Tap the website you want to restore
- Tap Delete
Now Safari will again offer to save the password next time you log in.
Method 2 — Add password manually
- Settings → Passwords
- Tap + in the top‑right
- Add website, username, and password
Safari will auto‑fill it from now on.
