I accidentally entered secure information along with a username. Now that secure information always comes up as an autofill option. I have tried highlighting and deleting. I have deleted specific cookies. I have created exceptions for saved logins. Unchecking 'Remember search and form history' in preferences works but makes other things inconvenient. Is there no other way?

I did exactly that. Multiple times on multiple days. It never worked for me. EDIT: I tried one more time using the shift delete on my Mac. This time it seems to have worked!!
