Autocomplete Always On! Description

Autocomplete Always On! - Have Safari ignore the "autocomplete" flag This Open Source AppleScript app will patch WebCore (Safari's HTML engine) to ignore the "autocomplete" flag (a non-standard HTML extension of IE) used by some banks and other web sites to disable a browser's AutoFill feature on certain pages. About security: While the "autocomplete=off" gimmick might increase security for a malware infested OS like Windoze, the opposite is true for a secure OS like MacOS X. Use of this flag is actually a security risk for the Mac user because it encourages users to use weak passwords, or to save them on disk as a plaintext file. Passwords are far more secure sitting encrypted in the Mac's Keychain (which Safari uses to store this kind of information). If you don't have to remember and type in the password manually, you are far more likely to use a strong password.
