When I go to a site that has a password saved and I select the password, Safari attempts to log me in immediately. However, this completely breaks functionality on some websites (ex adding accounts to RES etc). I believe this "feature" was added recently (10.14.4?).
I was able to disable requiring Touch ID to log in, which is a step in the right direction, but I want to disable the auto login completely, while still autofilling passwords. Is this possible/how can I do it?

Background
Unfortunately it looks like Apple decided to change this behavior in Safari, at least according to this article titled: Safari: macOS browser now autosubmits logins. Here’s how to disable it:
Apple mentions it here in their Mojave 10.14.4 Update release notes (2nd bullet):
Workaround
So it looks like your only recourse here is to disable auto fill under the "User names and passwords" section of the AutoFill tab of Safari's preferences.
AutFill tab under Safari PreferencesEdit under User names and passwords
NOTE: That dialog is actually just the Passwords tab, so you can just navigate to it directly.
