Safari will remember my password on most sites, if I ask it to. However, some "high-security" sites disable this functionality. I want to override their override, and have Safari remember my password on that site — even though the site doesn't want me to.
These "high-security" sites specify autocomplete=off in the HTML. Most browsers will honor this and decline to remember your password, in that case. For some browsers, like Firefox, folks have discovered ways to change this aspect of browser behavior and force the browser to remember your password, even on a site that uses autocomplete=off. I know how to do it on Firefox, but that doesn't work on Safari. Yes, I do understand the security implications of doing this.
How do I make Safari remember my password for sites where autocomplete=off?

The "autocomplete" extension in the third link works for me.
Here is a step-by-step recipe on how to install it, for others who may run into this:
Launch Safari. In the menubar, click on Safari >> Preferences. Under the Advanced pane, tick the box labelled "Show Develop menu in menu bar" at the bottom.
In the Safari menubar, you should now see Develop. Click on Develop, then click on "Enable Extensions".
Download the extension from here: http://lapcatsoftware.com/downloads/autocomplete.safariextz
In your downloads folder, click on the file that you just downloaded. Safari will ask you whether you want to install this extension. Say yes.
Now you're good to go!
