How to exclude websites from password saving in Safari

How do you exclude websites from auto saving / prompting to auto save passwords? There are several threads about this and no valid response from Apple or any community member. As a developer, I would want to exclude all localhost apps currently under development to be excluded from password saving and there doesnt seem to be a way to add to the exclusion list (Safari doesn’t even allow the option “Never For This Website” anymore). I would like some official statement on this and if Apple it’s reasonable for developers to experience this inconvenience.

This is a user forum, not Apple. You may have better luck with the developer forum. For feedback, visit Apple.com/feedback.

Even though the issue is about developer experience, the core mechanism is an end user experience issue: the passwords app is an end user product. In my view, the developer forum is about queries pertaining to libraries and mechanisms to enable application development within the apple ecosystem. I’ve posted it there regardless, but I think this forum is more suited for this question.
