okay, day 2 w/safari.
mozilla automatically stores my login/password info for the sites i visit (always asking me if i want that, the first time i login somewhere)
can safari do this (okay, seems not)
so...
is there an app i can run alongside the browser to automatically enter login/password info when i go to a site?
long-winded, sorry, half-awake sunday am!
thanx

Wait for newer release of Safari. Current private betas have this, and it's improving every version.

v64 doesn't have this (isn't this the most current beta??)
any recommended shareware apps to do this??

Safari (as of v56 or v60 or whatever the latest official release is) does store and retrieve names and passwords toand from the KEychain app, but only for external prompts, i.e., when a sheet drops down and asks you for those things to porceed. Sites that embed the password stuff into the html are not saved to or retrieved with the Keychain yet. Can't say why for sure.
One thought I had was that these sites often embed the usename field into a cookie, but delibrately do not save a password for secuurity reasons. Perhaps Safari is not saving these passwords to follow the wishes and/or "spirit" of these web pages with embedded security measures, so that the password must be typed in each time.
