I have my iMac "remembering" passwords for sites like EBay so when I click on the bookmark it just autofills the password for me. Am I able to undo that, so that the password has to be manually typed in. Am trying to do some early Christmas shopping and want to keep the rest of the family out of my Ebay site. Thanks or any help anyone can offer.
Got a tip for us?

I know, I have it there too for my mobile computers, but that lock is not there unless one puts it there, thus my addition of the location. One might never know. Btw, what would you delete there? "Safari Forms Autofill"?
Just search for ebay and it will pull up the web form password for that site.
By the way, this method allows you to selectively delete individual passwords, instead of deleting them all, using this method:
I don't have an eBay account currently in my database of autofills, but I tried "macr" for MacRumors and it couldn't find anything. Isn't that "keep me logged in" setting done via cookies?
I don't know why it doesn't find it for you. It does for me:
Cookies keep you logged in, but they don't autofill the password when you initially log in. That's done via Keychain.
