Why are all my passwords being forgotten all of a sudden?

[boynigel]

I've a 2022 Mac Studio m1 max running 13.1. Out of the blue, it no longer remembers any username or passwords, be it for my email accounts, random forums, anything. even when I select the "remember me" box- if I leave the site and come back, I have to log in again. from a security standpoint this is a joke because all I have to do is hover my mouse over the un/pswd box and it asks if I want to use the un/pswd on file. easy enough to do this, but it's officially getting old now.

Are you just talking about safari or is it on more browsers or system wide?

If it’s just related to safari or another browser check your cookie settings and check that you haven’t install an extension that is affecting this aspect.

To be clear your issue is not that your username and passwords are forgotten, but that they are no longer automatically populated? If that is correct I agree with cupcakes2000 comment it is a cookie issue as that is where that information is stored by the websites.

Also if it’s just Safari, make sure you haven’t opened a private window by accident.
