Passwords app stopped working correctly for one site.

Autofill Passwords on my Mac have just stopped working for me for one site, which I use daily. When I go to the site my username is filled in correctly but the password is not. It then wants me to go to the Passwords app to select my password. See attached picture.

I have deleted that log-on from passwords and started to reactivate but when I go to the web site it still knows my log-on name and shows the same request. The passwords app has the name and password for that site.

How do I fully delete that web site from my Mac and start over? This site works correctly on my iPhone.

Thanks;

Sorry no-one has replied to your post until now. Am no expert in this area myself, yet

your post to us deserves some response.


I have encountered some sites where security is so tight that the site itself does not allow passwords to autofill. (Much better, is the use of verification codes sent to a phone or e-address after sign-in details are entered.)


There is another discussion thread on a similar situation online (link below):

Seems there could be interference from an installed third-party passwords app on the Mac, or from a process in place from the website's developer:
