The blog entry noted, “As yet another step towards a more secure environment, apps that can virtually type the ‘Return’ key on the keyboard have been significantly restricted.” Apple trusts itself more than everyone else, because it controls the browser and experience, but it seems like it may be leaving users open to higher risks.Īpple often adds nuance to new features later, and it’s possible it would add a per-site option in Preferences > Websites, as it has with other feature, or provide a global on/off switch for autosubmit. I wind up switching to 1Password for the login.Īpple removed a mechanism AgileBits relied on to submit, because it could be abused by scripts on pages, resulting in the potential leakage of personal information. On a couple of sites I routinely use, the new autosubmit process typically fails. That means you have to fiddle around more to login. We can see this with Safari autosubmit as well. Not all sites respond as 1Password expects.
The company removed an option for autosubmitting passwords, and explained it in a blog entry. What makes Apple’s decision all the more odd is that AgileBits, the makers of 1Password, took the opposite course just in October 2018.
#1PASSWORD NOT SAVING NEW LOGINS ON CHROME FOR MAC PASSWORD#
You have to remove Safari password entries to stop automatic logins on those sites. Select one or more entries, click the Remove button, and then confirm the removal. Enter your macOS account password, then type in the name of a site you want to remove in the search field. You can remove an entry in Safari for macOS via Safari > Preferences > Passwords. If you use iCloud Keychain, this removal is synced across all your connected iOS and macOS devices. The only way to disable autofill is site by site, and then only by removing the keychain entry. The products on my list make it easy to detect and save new passwords, auto-fill saved logins, generate passwords, and edit password vault settings. If a password manager is hard to use, then it’s not good. In the past, you could select it, then check a box. And some even have extra features like password auditing, password sharing, biometric login, credit card auto-fill, and more. You might also note that you have to check a “keep me logged in” or “remember my username” box on sites that offer it before selecting the Safari-stored login.
(I’ve noticed this on some sites with CAPTCHAs, but others work fine.) Some Apple forum users have complained that on certain sites that require a CAPTCHA-one of those distorted letters or photo-identification challenges-to be filled in that only appears after they enter credentials, the new autosubmit tries to login in and fails. So far, there’s no way to turn this autofill option off nor to choose sites to exclude. Apple described this Safari change in 10.14.4’s release notes as “Streamlines website login when filling credentials with Password AutoFill.”
I understand Apple’s logic in making this change, as it reduces friction and takes less time to log into a site, much like dropping text message login codes into an autofill field for macOS and iOS. Previously, it would fill the fields and still require you to click a Login or Submit or other button to proceed. Now, if you have stored a password for a website, when you select a login entry to autofill, Safari 12.1 for macOS automatically submits the login. Apple changed the behavior of Safari in macOS 10.14.4, and you may have noticed it and thought it was a bug.
