Is there a quick key or a way to kill the autofill suggestions on a per suggestion basis.

I have updated to Safari 9.0. Since updating the Autofill taken over any field that says Username. It has caused me to change my username for multiple sites. Is there a way to stop the autofill feature on a per occurrence way instead of turning off autofill entirely? If the Autofill overwrites the username field information, I would like to hit ESC or something to have the autofill revert back to whatever was there prior to the autofill change. I hope I am making sense… and that there is a fix besides turning off Autofill entirely.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Safari 9.0

You're making sense but unfortunately, for your situation you would have to to deselect Autofill then enter your login data manually. It's an all or none deal.

Hi Carolyn, I found that this is not an issue with Firefox or Chrome. Clearly there is something that Safari did incorrectly with their autofill feature. When I use any of the two aforementioned browsers it does not overwrite fields. It allows me to make the selection of what I want to autofill. Plus I don't see why I am not able to cancel the autofill suggestion with esc or another button?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
