[X4U] Safari does not access keychain

[Vince Lewis]

Jim,
You know of course that it's the bank[s] that are preventing Safari 
from autofilling you info. Which is a good thing. Imagine your laptop 
is stolen and the thief  just autofills you bank info and transfers all 
your savings to another account.  In fact, I'm surprised that OmniWeb 
will do it--is it an older version?
ciao,
Vince
