Missing iCloud Keychain Option in Safari

In Safari, the "Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not be saved" option is missing for me. I've tried logging out of iCloud and logging back in, disabling iCloud Keychain and enabling it again, setting a password for any conceivable corner of Mac OS X, (screen saver, login, etc.) and fiddling with any possible security option in OS X (requiring password when logging in and coming back from sleeping/screensaver, etc.) and nothing seems to make that option show up.

I was hoping the new Safari 7.0.3 would fix this, but no dice. I noticed this issue in Safari 7.0.2 as well.

Does anyone has any idea what is going on? How can the option be missing when I have all the security options enabled? Any help would be appreciated!

System Information:

Mac Book Pro Retina, Mid 2012

Mac OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)

Safari Version 7.0.3 (9537.75.14)

OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

That's interesting because I just checked my preferences and I don't have that option either.

This is what I was trying to figure out. It seems, from what I've read, that Apple may have removed the 'always autofill' option for both iOS and for OS X. That would really be a shame. Since iCloud Keychain doesn't work that well to begin with, this was necessary.

I too have noticed the option is gone from OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks). I have a work around that so far seems to work. If you go to the same site on your iOS safari and save the password there through iCloud Keychain it will be synced and saved in OSX as well.
