Enable constant autocomplete in Safari by overriding the "autocomplete" flag with Autocomplete Always On.
This software is an Open Source AppleScript app that effectively patches the HTML engine of Safari (known as WebCore) to ignore the "autocomplete" flag. This flag is a non-standard extension of IE utilized by some banks and web sites to disable a browser's AutoFill feature on specific pages.
One aspect that makes this app unique is that it offers increased security for MacOS X users. While the "autocomplete=off" gimmick may offer increased security for a malware-infested OS like Windoze, it poses a security risk for Mac users. The use of this flag encourages users to rely on weak passwords, or to save them on a drive as plaintext files.
However, by storing passwords encrypted in the Mac's Keychain (which is the method Safari uses to keep this information), it offers a higher level of security. By not having to remember and manually type in passwords, users are more prone to use stronger passwords, exponentially increasing their security.
