Safari tells you what is actually going to autocomplete, so you could easily catch stuff that should not be sent...

  This is true, and actually a pretty smart feature, but you have to take the time to double-check (which I suspect most users won't).

    Usually I agree that people will blindly click through, but I don't see people clicking through this[1]. Especially if Safari said it would auto-fill your credit card number and you weren't buying anything?

      My understanding is that even credit card information is only available if the person is specifically in a credit card field, and not just the name.

      For me if I just enter my first name, then I get the small AutoFill popup with my contact card preselected, and just hit enter, it autofills without me seeing the full popup with the detailed info in it.

  Isn't that like claiming individual permissions pop-ups are working just fine on mobile devices, because people are carefully and individually considering whether each given app needs each requested permission? If some autofill feature starts training users to click "Ok, Ok, Ok, Ok, whatever, just Ok!" any time they sign up for some account or site feature, how long until masses are unwittingly sending along way more data than any sober assessment suggests they ought to and we're shrugging our shoulders and saying "well, the site asked..."
