Did Apple determine that autofilling passwords in Safari was a security risk? Any way to turn this back on? I checked the Safari preferences and they are still on....Any fix to this?

Well, it's not Apple, my autofill works flawlessly as it should. If you restarted then I would suggest first removing Safari's prefs to the desktop and if that doesn't work, try reinstalling a fresh copy.

It only happens on certain secure sites. So maybe....

Yeah, it's only some, not all. It doesn't autofill my SS# on my banking site any more, but maybe thats a good thing.

We're not crazy - they're discussing it on the Apple boards too: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...1.14@.599cbbfa
