Before I transferred all my settings to my MacBookPro (about 3 weeks ago), whenever I entered a web site that required login and that login was on my keychain, Safari would pull that info immediately.

Now, however, whenever I reach a site that requires login, such as my Bank's site, the username and password fields are blank. If, for example, my username is "sabor" and I start to type it on the username field, Safari recognizes it and auto fills the rest of my username and password. How can I make it so that it does it automatically like it used to? I don't want to type the username of every web site that requires authentication.

Thanks.
