AutoFill: User Names and Passwords

If you frequently visit secure sites — such as a Facebook account — that require you to enter a user name and password, you can have Safari remember your login information for later use. Click the checkbox that appears the first time you log in to the secure site, and Safari automatically fills in the login information when you return to the site. Safari encrypts your user names and passwords to keep your personal information secure.

Private Browsing

When you surf the web on a shared or public Mac, Safari can protect your personal information, so you can check your bank account and email at the library or shop for birthday presents on the family Mac. Thanks to Private Browsing, Safari doesn’t save or cache any personal information you enter or pages you visit. It’s as if you were never there.
