Autofill not working.

I just updated Safari to 11.1. Now autofill is not filling in user name or passwords on my sites. Is this a bug?

I'm running Mac os sierra ver 10.12.6.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

No, it is a new security feature. You have to click in the ID/password box to tell Safari to autofill. See my answer/screen shot in this post.

Actually, one does not have to click in the ID/password box. Simply use the keyboard command Command-Shift-A and the page autofills your user ID and password. I don't like the change! My Mac is not a shared computer!

The ID/password box appears when you are trying to access a web site that has a log in.

Thanks for the info, this works just as well as clicking password box. Yes, I also don't like the change. This change is not good for a shared computer, surely will lead to problems.
