In not secure sites, autofill can't automatically prompt

Hi, I am a developer and I often use browser for monitoring and stuffs, but the website I use is not secure. So whenever the site ask me to login, Safari won't prompt autofill, it needs to be manually selected by right clicking on the username and password field and search for the credentials in Passwords app, it is annoying because it's not efficient. I can use other browsers, but I feel like Safari is better use in MacBook (cpu-wise). Is there a way to automatically prompt autofill login credentials in not secure sites?

I am currently using MacBook Pro 2020 13inch intel i5

Safari version: 20619.1.26.31.7

MacOS version: Sequoia 15.0.1

MacBook Pro 13″

Safari restricts autofill prompts on unsecured sites to protect your data, but here’s a workaround that worked for me:

Open Settings > Passwords. Search for the site's credentials and make sure they are saved here.

You can also set a keyboard shortcut for quick access: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts to assign a shortcut to the Passwords app for faster access.

Alternatively, you can use third-party password managers (e.g., 1Password or Bitwarden). some of them offer a browser extension that fills credentials regardless of site security.

I see, those are the only workarounds we can do? Theres’s no way to whitelist not secure sites so it becomes available to auto prompt autofill option?
