Discussion

Password Autofill _MUST_ be disabled.

macOS allows users to save passwords and use the Password Autofill feature in Safari and compatible apps. To protect against malicious users gaining access to the system, this feature _MUST_ be disabled to prevent users from being prompted to save passwords in applications.

Fix

This is implemented by a Configuration Profile.
