I updated to Saft 8.3.7 today. All of a sudden, everytime I go to a page where I am required to log in, Saft warns me that the page may be phishing for information. This happens at every single page where I need to log in and it's just annoying. How can I disable these pop ups?

I attached an example when I try to log in to Facebook.

I found these instructions at the Saft website trying them now. This has been driving me insane, go to check email blurp, go to bank, blurp.

Fix for Safari AutoFill Information Disclosure
The problem is described at http://secunia.com/advisories/23066/. Saft checks the protocol, host and port of the login form's action with the main page URL as suggested in the discussion of the original advisory at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360493. When a mismatch is found, a warning dialog will be presented and user can choose either to block the form AutoFill, continue with the form AutoFill, or "Relax" to switch to relaxed mode so Saft will check only for mismatched domains.

To disable the check, use the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Safari "Saft No Checking Phishing Attacks" -boolean true
