How do you stop Safari 6 from saving passwords? I can't seem to find a setting to turn it off completely. Without the setting it bugs me every time I enter a username and password on a website. I don't want Safari to save my passwords and I don't want it to ever ask me to save passwords.
If there isn't a we to turn it off in the UI is there a terminal command to turn it off? It is extremely annoying.
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Deselect: User names and passwords.
Quit then relaunch Safari for changes to take affect.
Thanks - not very obvious I have to say. Surely you should be able to keep autofill but disable password collection.
I agree - this isn't sensible, and fairly unhelpful. I use 1Password to manage my passwords, but I still need autofill sometimes.
Sensible would be to have it as a checkbox on the Passwords section of the preferences window.
Brilliant! Thanks for the help!
Same issue - for the most part I don't want Safari to save userId's or passwords. So the brute force will work. I would prefer the ability to specify just the VERY FEW sights I'd like saved. That is "Save ONLY these passwords"
Any chance the is a way to do thiw with Mountian Lion?
you don't need to autofill at all. It's just being lazy and it opens you up to hackers stealing your information. Only a neophite would have autofill on
Safari 6 and password saving. How do I turn it off?
