AutoFill Passwords in Safari on Mac

NB: Mac AutoFill support is only available with Strongbox Pro. You can try this out for free for 3 months with no obligation to buy. We hope you’ll love it.

Note that this AutoFill system on works only with apps and browsers that have upgraded to support the Password AutoFill system. So far, as of post time, the only major browser that supports AutoFill is Safari. We believe this will change over the coming months and we should see ubiquitous Password AutoFill support in most browsers and Apps in short order.

AutoFill is controlled at the system level, your Strongbox database level and also within Safari, so make sure it is enabled in these 3 locations. To access these settings:

1. macOS System AutoFill Settings

macOS System Settings ‣ General ‣ AutoFill & Passwords

System AutoFill Settings

2. Strongbox Database Settings

In Strongbox there is an Onboarding Wizard that should help guide you through initial configuration. But you can always checkout your Strongbox AutoFill settings by unlocking your database and clicking on the menu item:

Database ‣ AutoFill Settings

You will then be presented with the following screen:
Database AutoFill Settings

3. Safari Settings

With Safari being the primary browser for a lot of Mac users, you will also need to make sure Safari is AutoFill enabled. You can find this setting under

Safari Preferences ‣ AutoFill ‣ Usernames and Passwords

Make sure this is enabled. You can read a little more about those settings here.
