If you are the owner or user of a Mac, you are sure you already know that the Safari Web browser automatically requests to save your logins the first time you enter the username and password on a Web. But what happens if we ignore this request? Will we be able to save our login to a specific website visited in Mac Safari?

Fortunately, Safari allows you to save your login information (username and password) even if you ignored the first save request. This is because Safari offers the ability to manually enter login information in Safari's autocomplete option. This way you will never have to remember and enter your username and password to log into a specific website..
Most of us visit various websites on a daily basis, logging into platforms and services such as our email, our social networks, etc. As a result of all the services we use, the list of logins can be endless and therefore difficult to remember all of them.

In this case we can do it manually through the Safari settings.
