GROUP ID: V-259527RULE ID: SV-259527r958478

Password Autofill must be disabled.

macOS allows users to save passwords and use the Password Autofill feature in Safari and compatible apps. To protect against malicious users gaining access to the system, this feature must be disabled to prevent users from being prompted to save passwords in applications.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable password autofill by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
